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.

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.

Tow truck is your best friend when you get a flat  .

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.

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.

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