Or you can mount free air subs onto a custom made rear shelf that can
handle the weight. They will take up some trunk space, but not nearly as
much as a box. For an amp rack, I put a board flush with the edge of the
driver side speaker shelf down to the bottom of the trunk area, and mounted
the amp flush to the board. I think I've seen a few roccos in magazines
with similar amp rack setups. It worked pretty good.
