There are a few manufactures that have put subs in the footwell. Usually they have a plate over the top for the passenger to put their feet on.  :-) :-) :-)

Quote from: "Wabbitkilla"What I was thinking as a sub the same width as the console, then cut into the tray moulded into the console and fit facing into it with ports cut in the site of the console behind the seats?

Did I miss this post. :/

This is a good idea, but would it fit width wise? Is there another way "into" the centre console? From the side perhaps?

There is not a lot of usable space in there due to gear change and handbrake cables. Was just a suggestion  s;-) ;-) s;-)

Is there much under the coin tray?

Or this to retain the rear bins?

Behind the bit under the coin tray are the linkages for handbrake and mounts and such. No space really.

Making a footwell box would be reasonably easy, mask up area, fibre glass (loads of tutorials online) and go from there. There's even the potential to port it vertically into the space behind the dashboard to increase volume.....Just sayin'

I *think* this is the way Porsche do it for the optional stereo upgrades.

The rear bin idea certain appeals as it means you could pull it out quickly, maybe fit quick release plugs for the live, gnd + remote.

I like the fibreglass idea, as it's something I can do and the practice would come in handy for my other (audio) projects

Correct.  s:) :) s:)  Mate of mine had a Cayman S with the Bose sound pack and it has the footwell sub. Works well but I think there is a bit more space to play with there.

Like Stu says, the driver is actually on the side in that one and it had a carpeted plate on top for passengers feet.

I still think the InPhase USW10 mounted above the pedals is the way forward. 130 quid, no loss of space and door-shaking bass.
I'm biased though
