Has anyone fit a compact powered subwoofer under the passenger seat or rear bench in a wagon? My interior is out of the car right now so it's a bit hard to tell how much space I have in the rear, but it looks like if I get *really* clever, I might be able to fit one under the passenger seat.
I was looking at the kenwood ksc-sw11: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-L4C7pS2BeJZ/p_113KSCSW11/Kenwood-KSC-SW11.html
The dimensions are 11 x 7.5 x 2.75 inches. I'm looking at the underside of the passenger seat and it looks like with the lateral beam and the lever adjuster, the only spot available is on the back side of the seat. The problems I'm seeing are that when someone sits in the seat, the foam intrudes on the little available space. The other problem is that the rear footwell heater will be heating my sub.
What I'm thinking about doing is building a sheet metal mount which will bolt in between the seat and the rails and mount the sub to it. My idea was to mount the sub upside down so that the top can be a solid plate. This way, I can limit the intrusion of the foam seat; as the person will eventually be sitting on foam sitting on aluminum. Then I can make some sort of deflector to make sure I'm not heating my sub.
