It wont be possibe cause the magnet at the back of the sub will to big to conseal. Unless you dont take anyone in your passenger seat, cause any enclosure will take away all the foot space. You could always just put it in a box and ask your passenger to hold it? :lol: I'm sure the ladies will love it. 10"s of throbbing and vibrating :lol: :wink:

Depends how much your into sound quality as well mate. Subs are normally mounted in the boot because of the accustics mate. I remember they started doing some free air subs a few years back that could be mounted on your shelve and they sounded crap. If you're worried about space, then these days you can buy sub boxes that fit in you boot, sound great and hardly take any space.

Bass is omni directional, so it doesn't have to be directed to or from anywhere, not worth the expense IMO.
