also you can air ont he side of smaller volume than you think then add blocks of wood to reduce the free air volume and tune to specific frequency

i used to be big in car audio

S30: "The Rusty Mistress" stripped bare and getting rebuilt from the ground up,
Z31: 315 whp 416 lbft, going back to the GRM $2009 challenge
Z32: now with sport 500's! For Sale

10" woofer
8.025" mounting depth
0.904" mounting heighth
unknown air space

I would go with something that has a variety of air space. Something with an operating range of 1-2 cubic feet should work. You will want an aftermarket amplifier as well tho. I recommend techronics.com for your supplies (speakers, subs, amps, etc.). They have great deals on over stock and old model stuff, all brand new but might be from like 3 years ago.... I have had great service with them and you can negotiate pricing and free shipping if you contact them.

uhhhh, i'm a guy

What size sub does it use? 8? 10? I highly doubt that the factory puts a 1-2cubic foot box in a car, because most would consider that big and obtrusive.

A few minutes on Google brought up this website.

Looks like they make custom enclosures with .85ft of space. The bose may be that big, it may not. Either way, look for a sub that works in less than 1ft of space, likely something with a fairly low Qts of say .28-.20.

I'm actually looking to do something similar to you.

You probably should get shallow mount subwoofers to get the most out of the small space. Pioneer Premier TS-SW1001S4 subs would fit perfectly.

I suggest you make a box for your aftermarket sub. (you could probably pick up some medium density fiberboard from Lowes and make it yourself)

You're going to need an aftermarket amp. (JL Audio HD750/1) And also a line output converter; (AudioControl LC6i)

I got the box space specs by doing the following:
1. Rockfordfosgate.com
2. Highlight Support
3. Click on Woofer Box Wizard
4. Fill in the blanks.

GL with your project!

-Pioneer radio DEH-P5100UB
- 2, 6' Pioneer speakers for the back speakers
- A 10' Kicker Sub with a 500 amp placed under the passenger seat.

I dont know what the make is on the amp. But will find it.

This is my baby.
