The car has no spare, it comes with a spare tire sub thats a 5in woofer.

This is a slim mount 12in Rockford dual 2 ohm being powered by the OEM amp. OEM is pretty strange, the amp sperates the two voice coils, hence you see two terminals on the box going into a 4pin plug.

The box is built to Rockford's specs at 25.4L. It's not going to dig low like a sub 12 in a big box, but I can keep all my trunk space like this and I don't have to run any wires/amps etc.

what!? they cheaped out even more on the 8.5 and didnt even include a spare now!? jesus christ VW.... at least my mk8 has a spare.

Has a kit that has a 12v pump and a can of compressed air with goo. I always take the spares out of the cars, I always run aftermarket wheels so it's not going to fit anyways.

Less weight = more speed.

Yah, spares are overrated, that is what I have compressed air and goo (to wreck your tire for good). Tow truck is your best friend when you get a flat :lol.

Toss the jack, toss the spare.

Keep the wrench, key, add plugs, 12v pump, and pair of pliers. You can plug a tire without taking off the wheel, and if i really need a jack, everyone else carries one that will work lol. If i'm lowered, jacks not gonna fit anyways so what's the point of carrying it.

That's all you need.

I guess it’s decent weight savings too. That spare tire plus jack is heavy.

For the best weight savings see this thread: Link

Reminds me I'm Guangdong hoarding an old JL 10W6 that I've been meaning to install in the BM

I’ve never been a fan of subs. I keep too much crap (soda cans in the door cards) in my car, everything rattles.
And if the vw really has such a bad build quality as hobz rants about, then good luck with the interior rattles.

Never had that problem in the mk7!!! its only these new ones that have this horrible build quality.

He rants because he's rich and because he still loves Beetles. :D
