Default Spare tire well

I wanted to know what the volume is of that spare tire well. I want to make a molded fiberglass box for it and I need to know what volume it is to design the box properly. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.

Yes I believe so.

I'm just wondering if I have to mount the speaker above the space because there's not enough air for it or if I can mount it flush like I want. I have a Cerwin Vega VEGA series DVC sub. That might be a little light on the airspace. I am gonna make a molded fiberglass box to make the most of the space.

^^ That's kind of a broadstatement. There are 10" subs out there that reccomend 2+ cu. ft. But chances are he should be fine.
