you can try but the problem is that you sometimes have to pump a carb to get them to start....most remote starts make 3 atttempts to start your vehicle before giving up so you should have 3 chances at it, of course if it doesnt work how much extra are you out?

I know what I want but I wanna keep my spare tire as well . so what do you think ?

really it depends on your budget......and what you want.....i have single subs that cost as much as 900 apiece or i have them for under 100........and anywhere in between so it really depends on budget as far as "whats best for you" your budget will determine what you can properly power to get the best performance for your dollar.....figure for a decent set of 12's in a box you will spend in the area of 300 to start....amps can be found starting around 200 or so for decent power and then you have to wire it and get it all hooked together and tuned.....keeping the spare tire in that thing wont be a big deal at all....you could keep the spare tire and a couple bodies in there right next to your sub box if you need to....

ok here is what I'm thinking I want to do give me you opinion on this : 2-12" Orion DVC or Kicker Comps pushed by a Hifonics BX1205D mono amp for my subs , and a Hifonics TX4405 4ch to run everything else. I wanted to keep it somewhat simple but I'm still deciding on a Box, Fiberglass is my 1st choice, sealed or ported, what do you think ??

id look at other subs....id try and find something that i could port into the interior and box material is personal flavor.....your in st. louis.....i dont know what you have available or who here could help you out but i think a pair of elevation pro 12's would do nicely.....of course to optimize that you need two of those amps or a 1 ohm stable amp.....maybe devin or bill have some bravox that would work.........

then again, it is just personal preference.
I would stay away from anything larger than 2 tens since you live in St. Louis. Heard they passed a law in the town that prohibits speakers larger than 10"
actually 2 10's would be breaking the shi... I mean city ordinance! :bigwink:

"Any sub bigger than a 12", having more than one sub bigger than 10", more than 10 speakers overall, more than two amplifiers,or any amplifier over 300 watts" would be a no-no if the ordinance passes.

In any case, use sound deadening and bump responsibly...
