special - could you do me a favour and take some pics of one of your centre caps for me? (ie the the bit in the middle of your wheels) - i'm trying to locate some and it'd be useful if i had some photos from a couple of angles. cheers mate
btw, on a 340 you might be able to mount the sub in the boot floor, where the wheel would be if it were a 360.

Do yourself a favour, build it a proper box - mounting a sub directly into a false floor would be a total waste! Nice price....a brand / model we've heard of? Probably doesn't matter for £15 though!

Making the box out of glasfibre and plywood and mounting it in the place of spare tyre is one option. Saves space but you can't keep your spare tire in there though.

You're much better off trying to mount a sub in the boot floor of a 360 with the spare wheel out, as on a 340 you've got a solid floor (with a fuel tank beneath it!!) to contend with.
I'd just build a 'conventional' box, but make it look good.

I always forgot that the spare tire in 340 is located in engine bay..

theres no-where else you could have it cos you cant move the fuel tank in the auto-boxed cars. dunno why the 1.7 was that way round thou.

The 340 tank is lighter...maybe that's why?

A word of warning...there's '600w', and 600w....I'd exercise some caution before you try putting 1200w into the pair...!

You ought to put 1:1 power in - that's the *safest* thing to do in a car, but you need to know exactly what the power rating is in real terms - and car audio figures are notoriously hard to trust. Very few budget (and even no-so budget!) '800w' amps will deliver half that in real terms.
