Sub Location

I just went out and measured it. It is about 34" long which is plenty. The depth is about 7.5 inches which isn't too bad. But the width is only about 8". Even for a 6" sub that is pretty tight but may be big enough for certain subs.

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?
