I love the reviews of the spare tire subs, which is why I subbed when I watched your JBL bass hub pro install.

It's amazing how far technology has come in all facets of life! Thanks for sharing!

I have the JBL one without an amp and it rocks in my 2014 Mazda 3 sedan running on the sub channel of a Kicker KX-8005. Thanks for showing the first video with the amplified JBL.

I removed the hatch cover and replaced with a Birch box 4¾ deep added a ¾ ring to gap the magnet downward firing DD redline 612 shallow sub tuned box to 30hz still have full access to everything under and 100% cargo space can not describe the bass it's way louder than my old JL TW3

Lots of scratches on that right out of the box. Yeesh

[Bradimus]

You maybe want to put a nylock nut on there and just have the appropriate tool to remove of needed back there. All the vibration otherwise might regularly loosen that up.

[oooooo]

you need to show more interesting new tech like this.

I've put the cerwin Vega amplified version in a challenger and was super surprised at the performance. It's not a trunk shaker but delivered amazing bass for what it is.

[crazyhorseracing]

How does this compare to the JBL bass hub?? Which do you like better?? Thanks for the videos!!

We have a 2015 Murano with a factory Bose spare tire subwoofer. Has two fairly beefy 5" 2-ohm woofers but they only get 28W each out of the Bose amp 🤣 This Diamond on a decent amp looks quite interesting as a replacement

[jmcguire]

protip, if you are going to crank down the bolt, make sure you keep a spare tool to remove it road side in case the spare is ever needed.

[smiller]

I just installed a jbl basshub pro and we was shocked how much bass it produced

[scottof]

I’d image having the proper tire pressure in the spare would be helpful to keep the spare and sub secured properly.

[zaviermartin]

So which one do you prefer, JBL or Diamond?

[LeekleManE]

Just an observation: Is the nut holding the structure in place the same size as a lug nut? If not, then it seems that a person with one of these would need to add a secondary wrench to the tire change tools to get the spare out.
Granted, one extra wrench vs all that trunk space seems to make it worth it.

Now I guess I have to install the Cerwin Vega unit I have sitting around into my wife's car to see how it do.

[TomTom-gnmp]

A small 500 watt amp paired to a 300 Watt RMS sub seems a bit overpowered.
Also, did it sound better or worse with the trunk floor liner down?
Hopefully this or the JBL will fit flush in a 2023 KIA Sportage!

I really want one of these, but imagine I am going to have the same issue with it being too tall. In my Blazer the cargo deck has a hinge and is flush with the bottom of the rear hatch so raising it isn't really an option. I will probably have to go with the slim version but I feel like that is a little bit of a compromise. I wonder how the sound compares between this and the slim version.

[jeremymckinney]

I just seen that there is a slim-line version of this think you will be able to get a hold of that one for testing???

[thomasp]

How would this compare to the JBL BassPro Hub with the built in amp?
