I got my daughter an 06 xA,
She wants better music in her car that the stock stuff.
I am wondering if anyone has successfully installed sub(s) under the seat(s)?
She lives in an apartment and wants it to look completely stock inside.

Any help with this will be appreciated!

Thanks!
Do you find this a big increase over the door speakers alone?
My daughter isnt a basshead, but I am and am not a good reference to whats a normal balanced amount of bass.
This like is more like impact to your body maybe since it fires into the seat?

it comes with a wired remote volume control i don't crank it up, just gives the extra bass it really needs.

i've replaced all the speakers with the same size speakers and headunit

I am replacing HU and putting in some nice coaxials and maybe an amp to power them first, then if she wants more Ill add that sub or one like it.

I had 8" midbass subs under the seats in my original first gen, they were a good fill for the frequencies between the door speakers and the subs.

my 2nd first gen I had custom boxes for pioneer shallow mount 12" subs. They were pretty good, but still didnt have the excursion i'd get from a sub in the hatch. They also cut off some of the foot room for the rear passengers.

I am looking at these

Her main concern is stealth for now, but better sound than door only speakers.
