I did this with hatchbacks so it wasn't an issue.
in sedans I just move the enclosure back against the rear seats, and don't cover the tire well..

kevin, here is a rough rough rough diagram of what i am doing. basically the sub box (dunno if it will be an actaul mdf box yet) against the back seats. The false floor will be many pieces, but there wont be gaps or anything. I plan on putting one or two 2x4's and mounting those to the trunk floor, then the "false floor" will be screwed to those. you can see where i plan on putting the hinges and such, I have to test with a piece of something if lifting that board up with the hinges will allow me enough room to remove the tire, so like i said this is rough rough, i havent measured anything yet.

those two rectangles are the hinges. the dotted lines show the piece of the false floor that will be the one that lifts up.

the rectangle where it says kicker and JL MIGHT be plexiglass, im not sure yet... trying to decide if it would be more "stealth" and better security if there wasn't plexiglass there.
