With the sub in the trunk off to the side it doesn't seem like you loose too much space, and if you have a decent speaker grille you could set whatever you wanted on it if you needed to. My thing about a set up in the trunk is if it sounds good or not I just think that the bass would be baffled too much I dont know I have never heard what it sounds like so I may just try it and see or try a JL free air and see what it sounds like until I get the sound I'm looking for. Bleedspeed's set up is a cool way to go as long as you seal up the entire deck you could get away with a regular sub I guess
So many options so little space, what are we gonna do guys??????

yeah that is the sick sub install for sure! why not 12" though? wouldnt have taken any more space really. by all means if you have a couple thousand for your sub install then that is probably the best setup. i still do not like the single side mounted sub though. if i ever did that i would do 2 subs for sure. but its all up to what you want. i didnt want huge bass in my sc. i have done huge bass in most of my cars and it gets old. i wanted just enough bass. my install sounds decent but can not touch a pair of 12"s by any means.

Thanks!
Going with the 12's or 13.5's would have been overkill for the SC in my opinion. I originally was gonna do 2 8's in a regular box but went with the 2 10's in the custom boxes which i'm happy with.
lol there behind the surround. You have to take the aluminum clamp and o-ring trim off first then peel back the surround

I've got a Pioneer 10" sub in the stock location. Gives me just enough thump I need. Had to put a piece of wood in the stock sub location to raise the aftermarket sub enough to be flush. You can't see the wood because it is covered in the black speaker trim which gives it all a complete stock look. No complaints whatsoever on the change.

So when you go amp shopping, keep this in mind. Decent amps run about $1-1w at 4ohms.
