You're severely limited with what will fit, Robert. Would have to work the design around the STB.

I've got a 10" JL in mine... nothing fancy from presentation /show standpoint. I could put two 10's in a similar configuration and still keep the STB. I don't recall seeing any extensive trunk setups in GS's that have kept the STB, assume they'll post here if they do.

Here's a picture of mine:

It can be done and cusco is another company that makes one.But as for the system, you would have to work around it.To make a box around the bar really isn't that big of a deal.It would only require some more angles cut into the box design.

Um, from Dave's pic you can see the space - not sure what else you need to know. You can't put a full height monster sub enclosure back there if that's what you want to do.

every system is different and custom, so yes you can make it fit but also yes it would be very limited
