I'm awaiting installing an Alpine Type R SWR843D 8" sub in the rear hatch area where the foam piece is located. The new design of this sub can be mounted without any space under the sub. Theoretically, an 8" sub will not play at the same low level as a larger diameter sub, however their are exceptions. Big and others can chine it on that issue
On the DIYMA web site, a person installed 4 of these Alpine subs in a custom sub box in an Mini Cooper, however, could not produce to a low frequency to his liking.
My 5-channel amp, signal processor, and one sub fit in the foam piece space nearly flush with the rear hatch floor. It sub had to be raised up a little to clear the sub's basket but will look nearly level with the carpet. You can view my uninstalled sub box in my "sub box feeler" post. Once the install is completed, I will post pics.
