yeah i say scrap the idea of getting a sub....get some real nice 6.5 components.

I woudl reccomend the JL 6W0 it only requires like.15 or .2 cu ft. to function. It sounds pretty good for a 6in. but your not goign to get a ton of bass out of it. Requires little power and space seems like the perfect fit.

2 seater, right? how far can the passenger seat move back?

You could probably get some decent volume if you have the box slide up under the dash a bit on the passenger side (foot well).. You might end up with less leg room over there than you want, but you can cover the box and get a strong grille on it (and probably have a cloth on it if someone is riding over there to keep dirt out)..

That should be ok and let you have some kick.. You won't have a lot of passenger leg room, but if you don't carry passengers often or have really tall passengers (in a miata?) you should be ok..

Otherwise, yeah.. you are gonna have a hard time with a hidden woofer, probably won't be able to do it..

Good luck..

try to find a 6x9 woofer and put them in 6x9 boxes behind the seats, i know a guy with a miata and he has 6x9s back there

why not a single decent 8" mounted in Fglass befind the passenger seat give it some clean power and you will be right

A 6X9 sub is more viable. Who makes such an animal?

Thanks in advance.

Have you ever seen the Dr. Crankenstein subs they sold at Wal-Mart? LOL, I bet you wouldn't have to worry about clearance problems with their magnets. My first system, 11 years ago, was two "bass cannons" made by sparkomatic, I think. At the time, I thought they sounded good! Live and learn, live and learn.

No Crankensteins please. If it can't be done with a quality piece then it can't be done. I don't mind throwing some coin at it but it has to be great SQ or forget it.

That was directed to BigBoomer and was clearly a joke.

Taken as such and no offense taken.
