Lightbulb Sc loses weight, gains volume

So i yanked the one ton spare tire out of the trunk so i'll get better gas millage and got the idea to install a subwoofer system in the now gaping hole. Three 10" can fit in a triangular arragment and the trunk carpet can still be reinstalled. I was thinking about a hard foam board bolted on the spare cavity with silicone around it ( to keep it light weight) any thoughts or pointers?

AAA. No need for a spare.

Although, it probably would be a good idea to have one.

I got AAA, so i really dont need a spare, and my glock is in the glove department for bad hoods, The main reason is i got three MTX 10" collecting dust on my shelf so i got to do something with them. lol Someone posted a EEK! at my hard foam board idea, should i go with plastic or pressboard instead?
