Default Accord Diet

Anyone know any way i could shave about 100 lbs off the back of my accord to make up for my sub box? Taking out the spare is not an option

i would show u mine but sold it. basically i had 2 12's mounted in my trunk with a sheet of plexiglass holding it. using the trunk like a huge sub box ported the bass back into the cabin instead of adding sound damping foam. so i was able to keep a clean bass hit without rattling the whole damn car.. its hard to explain but not as pricy as u think. any real sound shop can do it for a little more than what u would pay for a really good sub box

the intake is heavier than the stock intake system if u dont count the res. box you know.. metal vs. plastic h: the rest though would work

Does the weight really make that big a difference?
