[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 311470, member: 547749"] They often are, and you probably don't want to cut that, it's structural... Even though I'm sure you could get away with cutting some out of there without compromising much integrity, the BMW's are known for their rigid chassis and that greatly contributes to their status as a "drivers car"... you'd also no doubt be compromising your resale value... So I can understand what you are saying. Unfortunately, installing 10's under your seats will be difficult, without cutting holes and welding in "wells" under your floor, which again can carry all the compromises i mentioned above. If I were you, I'd check out Blaupunkt's new "Saucer" subwoofers. They are only about as deep as a AA battery is tall, and while the installation might be tricky and/or expensive, you could most likely fit then under the seats if you built shallow fiberglass enclosures under the seats. Not only that, it would be trick, and it would be loud... I've heard the saucer's myself, I was lucky enough to hear them in a Ford truck at DLC designs.. not only the home of DUMAX (David Clark being the inventor, DLC is his lab facility [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG]), but also co-developers of this fantastic sub... here's some pics of my visit - and the Blau Saucers: [URL="http://www.betteraudio.com/geolemon/DLC"]http://www.betteraudio.com/geolemon/DLC[/URL] Really amazingly capable thin subs. Anyone know if there are any electronics hidden below the front seats on BMW 3-series? That would compromise the available space for a sub enclosure, even 'glass... As for your desire to be able to have different "modes"... subdued, and rockin'... I think you should just get an amp with a remote gain control. That will allow you to turn up or turn down the subs at will, use it like a volume knob - that's what it is.
