its funny you say this

i am currently in the process of building a sub with dual 8" W3v2 4 ohm dual VC subs from JL Audio. i am mounting them in the spare tire. i just completed the mount with the subs and now i am getting ready to get the amp and cables. i am going to power it with a JL 250/1 Mono amp. ill take a pic later of what i have so far.
Brad,
You're mounting them IN the spare? How did you build the enclosure (is it like Shajan and Ak1nza's)?
i cut out a disk of wood that sits in the lip of the spare. the two subs fit in there nicely. i am first going to try and just seal the disk with weatherstripping on the rim lip without building a separate fiberglass enclosure. i wnat to experiment with that first.
i was thinking that, with the right speaker placement, that you could also use the stock sub hold down screw, to tighten down the custom wood disc and just seal the edges with foam weather stripping. my first cut of the sub disc, does not have room for me to do this though, so im going to test the weight seal method first
otherwise, i will recut the disc so that the speakers are slightly farther apart, drill a hole for the screw rod, and then tighten it down that way.
