wow those area really clean setups. question though. everytime you have to like epty out the water buildup you have to remove it everytime? well for my GS i have a 2 12" kickers and a kciker box in there which leaves me no room. so i would have to hide my tank on the little compartment in the back and the subs in the front. so everytime i have to empty the water build up i have to take out my subs? is there an easier way?

you can take that design. i plan on changing mine again for the sake of bass. need a bigger box for the 13 w-7! show pics when i am done with that. i am thinking of getting the tanks custom airbrushed and molding into the sides we will see what i come up with but it will definitely look cleaner at least more custom!

On the question of draining the tanks. with it in the bottom I was going to cut two holes. so I could easily drain the tanks. and put plastic caps in so water does not get in while driving.

I liked the idea of putting the tanks in the spare wheel well, as then I wouldn't lose any boot space. Of course that does mean that you lose the spare wheel (and if the puncture in a can thing doesn't work - don't even know if we have that in Oz, I wouldn't want to have it up on a flatbed to go get it fixed especially while out driving in the country).

I always thought about having a GS with bags installed and utilising a small tank (not sure how small you can go, but I do know it depends on how quick you want to raise the car not including diameter of the actual pipelines). Part of me thought, hmmm is there a spot under the car where this could be housed (of course a shield of some sort to stop anything on the road hitting it)??? Don't have a GS (yet) so don't know.

No there is no room underneath the car to fit a tank believe me I looked at. There is not a space big enough to fit a tank to fill your bags.

You could make a custom tank though, a bunch of teeny tiny tanks connected together perhaps?

Not sure how much room is available behind the front bumper, but on my M45, we put a 5 gallon tank and both compressors behind the front bumper and behind the foglights....totally stealth !!!!











This may give you some ideas....
