.65 is the amount of air space that sub needs to function properly. You want ATLEAST .65 cubic feet of internal air space. Under the seat wont get you anywhere near that, more like .3 or less.

The 8" will definitly work,
I used to have it in my fiero, with a .3 sealed enclosure. It his OK for an 8". IF you are limiterd on space, I would suggest the Image Dynamics ID8v3 D4. it is an 8" dual voice coil sub, and I couldn't ask for more form it.

Here is a link to my build thread on it for my Fiero. When I do get my scion, I will be using an Image Dynamics sub, personaly this is the best sub I have ever heard for clearity.

Problem: Is the amp capable of running 2-ohm mono? It lists as 4-ohm bridged stable, but those two woofers wired parallel is going to give you a 2-ohm load, not 4.

I'd suggest waiting untill the middle of October and getting 2 of Elemental Designs SQ10's... it's a 10" woofer that's only 3" deep and only requires .3-.5cuft sealed.... put one under each seat and put a ED Nine.2x (600watts) on the pair and you'll have an awesome substage!!!

not to mention, you get a great discount for being a Scionlife member... here are the forum prices:

also, Elemental Designs has a great forum with LOTS of stereo information and help... Here's the address

well, when you can push 300-500 watts though a single one... that's gotta tell you somethin... I'm not saying everyone should put 500 watts to one, but if you know what you're doing, it's very possible..

2 SQ10 SVC 2ohm subs and an Elemental Designs Nine.2x. Wire the subs in series for a 4ohm mono load and you'll get around 300 per sub which would be perfect and would pound pretty dang good.... not to mention sound excellent

All I am saying is when you deal with drivers and you have these ones that can handle a lot power you have something called power compression which means simply stated you will need a lot of baseline power to move those drivers. You can do the same with less power with drivers that do not need as much baseline power when dealing with a basic system. One thing to pay attention to is sensitivity which let you know the effeciency of the driver and try to match all them as closely as possible
