Will this box work in a MK7 Golf R since we don't have a spare tire for it to sit in?

I am not planning on a side mount at this time.
I get this question a lot.
1. The OEM sub in this car, and many others are located in this position, so it must work OK.
2. Bass wavelengths are very long, and are not easily stopped by the floor. This is the reason you can hear the bass from a car from a distance. Bass is also non directional as well, so location is not that important.
3. My MKV / MKVI puts the sub in a similar location. However it is even closer to the floor, unlike the MKVII, which has several inches above it. I have produced over 1000 underfloor boxes, and no one yes has complained about the bass output.
Any thoughts on doing a under floor sub box like for the MK6 for the MK7 R?
The MK7 R is an interesting animal. In the US they font have spare tires, in the rest of the world they do. Some people in the US are adding spares.
The release edition has foam under the floor which surrounds the factory sub, non release editions do not, and just have the sub sitting in the middle of the hatch floor with nothing around it.
I am having problems designing a box that firs all the options, and some Golf R's don't have the sub even, so there is another factor. I how to have one figured out in the next month or 2
I would love to see a box that fits in the entire wheel well -- ditching the spare tire completely. Can we get big enough to accommodate a 15"?? I've always had 2 twelves, but that was in a big trunk Jetta. Ahhhh, I really want to upgrade the sub with the Fender system!
Nice job with the spare tire insert!
the box is probably 12-15 lbs. It is made to fit inside the wheel. If you want to remove the spare, I can easily make you a box that is shaped like a spare to fit in there.
I'm building a round box for the JL 10TW1-4 I ordered, and it will be necessary to either cut down the threaded part or remove it altogether and find a different way to hold down the spare.I believe the plastic nut can be kept if you cut down the threaded part.

How is the tie-down nut removed?
