I constructed a sub box to fill the void left by removing the foam piece mention in 90ST response. A 8" sub(s) will fit depending on the sub.

Are you guys referring to the the slot in front of the spare tire towards the front of the car? Care to share a photo?

I'm talking the 2 pieces beside the tire, where the jack and tools are, if you stay with a shallow sub you can fit a 10" on both sides, and under the floor.

If you go shallow these spots will fit a 10", next month, if i have time, i'll be changing my whole system again, and the RF subs are going here.
