I may do a custom sub enclosure in this area, unless I can pursade Mike (Zenclosures) to fab a sub box for this area. I recall that the area between the rear strut area and the plastic piece located behind the seats is approx. 8 1/2 inches wide (including the area under the plastic lip). One could angle the sub slighting towards the rear to gain some needed width and install a sub grate to make the floor flush and protect the sub from damage.

A 8" sub might be a tight fit inside a sub box, but may fit. Let everyone know if you install a sub in this location since several members have indicated locating a sub in this area. I believe that most 8" subs need approx. 1 to 2 cubic feet for sub enclosured space for optimum sound. Big may enlighten us noobs on this manner.

I am planning to locate the amp in this area as well. Any thoughts?
