[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8753754, member: 614752"] The issue you're going to run into trying to make something under the seat play "midbass" is that 50-300hz is where most vocals happen. Unlike your <80hz stuff that your sub is handling (low strings, drums, etc.) those vocals are very directional so you really really need the speakers doing that frequency range up in front of you and somewhere where they are at least somewhat directed towards your listening position ideally. If your sub is struggling to get sound up out of the trunk (trunks in luxury cars are notoriously hard to get good bass up through) you should easily be able to throw a bigger amp on that and even upgrade the sub to a stouter power handling model as needed... bass is very easy to brute force. I'd say your best bet would be to either attempt to upgrade whatever factory mid is in your doors to something that'll dig down a little deeper, you will definitely want to seal/deaden those doors for best results, or buy/build some custom kickpanel enclosures and throw a robust midbass woofer in those. The sticky part here will be how to start messing with your front stage piecemeal and getting it to blend in properly with everything else up front that's factory, including, I assume, the factory head unit. Just my .02, dunno if this will help but some food for thought as you try to crack this problem. [/QUOTE]
