I would sure like to use that space for a couple of amps. Without the compressor of the air suspension, it's just the tool box holder wasting a bunch of space.

Default I've thought about that.

What's the R32 method after a blow-out? Canned sealant won't help for anything but a minor leak. I guess it would be flat bed time.

Default VW Roadside is for all 4 years or 50K.

The can of sealant was worthless.

Default I wouldn't worry with an allroad but on many cars the spare is an integral>>>

part of the impact/crush zone. I was going to put some tools in my sons Jetta trunk and thought removing the foam around the tire would give me more room. In removing the foam it seemed that a lot of thought went into the design and weight of the foam pieces, and decided to leave them in.

The chances of a bad rear ender are slim but real and I think golf platform cars like my TT should keep the spare and surrounding foam.

Default if you are putting amps on left, then the amp on right can be removed and put tools there.

if everything is in the same place on s6 and there was enough room, which i can't picture sitting in front of my computer.: )

Default New subs going in the right

I think I am going to completely de-Blose my car. New subs, amps, front and rear door speakers, and probably a nav head unit. I'm considering the Pioneer avic d1. I already have all the door speakers and one amp, so the burn won't be quite so bad. And yes, the S6 is the same, minus the air compressor, of course.
