Anyone know if the 2017+ Bose subwoofer, which sits in the spare tire, fits in the previous gen CX-5 spare tire?

It will but you need the amp and the loom to go with it.

That's me lol

Anyway, I buckled down and did a real install.

Alpine MRV-M250 paired with an old school image dynamics idq10v2 in a sealed box that I had laying around. I also have an IDMAX10v2 and phoenix gold xenon 600.1 but don't think the baby will appreciate it too much.

One of these days, I'll buckle down and have a shop make me a spare tire enclosure, but for now, this suits my needs just fine.

Lol . Something custom made would be nice. Something like the Jeep all weather sub. Exept we dont need it to all weather. Just a good grill to protect it.

Do you have anymore information about how to do this? I have a 2016.5 with bose and I'm not sure what I'll need (eg. cables) besides the subwoofer itself. TIA

You're probably better off installing the PAC and an aftermarket amp/sub.

That's what I ended up doing (I have 2016 with Blose).

Check out my ugly work, but it works really well. I'm entertaining the freeway with it.

The "box" is the spare wheel, that is sealed with a 6" rubber seal and an aluminum plate over it. Bolted down to the car, by a hex head screw. Amp is under the driver seat.
