Don't forget speaker displacement as well. What ohm load and amplifer are you going to use. Three is an odd ball number.

What car do you have that has a 12" deep spare tire well? That is hugely deep.

Agreed with above, you are not going to get 3 kicker subs to a bridged 1 ohm load.


Other than that, getting 3 12's in a spare tire well is not that difficult as long as you know how to fiberglass.

you could cut peaces of MDF and use them around the sides and bottom of the tire well to shrink down the measurements. you could build a box with the vol that you want then glass over it. then if you wanted curves get some sturdy foam and shape it the way you want it then glass over it. i don't know. just thinking of some ideas

What kind of curves do you want?

build your "skeleton", stretch your fabric over the skeleton and secure it onto your frame, resin the fabric (build up the thickness in steps)...

Depending on how you want the final look of the enclosure dictates what you do to finish off. Whether that be sanding (lots of it), high build primer, bondo, or whatever. Then you've got the covering of the enclosure...the paint, the gelcoat, vinyl or carpet...

The important question for me would be, WHAT do you want the enclosure to look like? Perhaps find a picture of an enclosure that has some elements you're thinking of and post it a picture.
