Sub in back seat ???

I need all my trunk space. Has anyone put a sub on the floor behind one of the front seats?

with a few minor cuts, you could probably cram 2 12s under the rear seats.

You could use a small sub. JL makes a 6.5 inch sub. There are also a lot of 8 inch subs available.

I was considering replacing the rear console with a sub box. Use one or two 6" subs. I was worried about the sound quality for the amount of work it would take. If trunk space is really a premium, it might be worth it.

Making a false floor/wall is another possibility.

A 10 in a professional/custom enclosure in the trunk won't take much space.

I had a bazooka tube on the rear seat floor in my first car. It sounded fine, was hard to see, and people could still use the rear seat (missing a little foot room ).

You could place an infinity basslink on the floor.

This sounds like a good idea. I don't think I need MEGA bass. Just more than I have now. Thanks.

Nah that's not possible with any standard depth sub I've ever seen.

Yeah take some 6.5" subs and put em in the deck...or put them in kickpods on either side of the front of the car...

I got another one of these for sale if you're interested. It's an Element enclosure. Holds a 10" sub.

OK guys, this was one of my projects that I tried out recently. I bought an IDQ 10 for this. The box fit right behind the drivers seat, and it wasnt what I expected. I wasted $200 trying to do it.
