do a search on speaker boxes, some guy on here made a nice custom job in the back...
You know, after reading your post again, I don't think we are talking the same thing, what bar/brace are you taking about?

G8rboy, that's the point i wanted to make clear. You can get rid of the spare tire tube bar. But I wouldn't remove the diagonal brace that Nubo is referring in his picture above.
The spare tire tube might actually have an unintentional benefit in stiffening the chassis. I saw some after market vendors selling something similar to help stiffen the car when taking extreme maneuvers.

Ahh... that must be behind the plastic paneling (from the inside of the trunk, you can't see the bracing). If the spare tire brace served double-duty as a shock-tower brace than I would consider designing my sub box around it... but since it doesn't, it's outtahere.
Thanks for clearing that up guys...

You can see the brace with the rear seats out. Very easy to remove. Here's a side shot with the rear sets removed where you can see the driver side cross beam.
