If you're talking about that enclosure in the console it has JL subs in it. I would never ever put subs in a vehicle in that kind of configuration.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

if you want a box like that then you should downfire the subs. i bet that box sounds like ***. couple weeks and the cones will be filled with coke or holes.

That looks kind of cool, but if you're ever going to be driving it it's going to be uncomfortable. I suggest mounting the subs kind of like they are in that picture, but about a foot back.

I have listened to a vehicle with subs mounted like that and it didnt sound to good. Didnt think I would ever say a set of focal subs sounded bad but that jsut wasnt impressive at all.

hmmmm, if you want more than do both ;) Seriously though, if I was you then I would relise that by puttting subs under the rear seat in my truck I am severly limiting my space and would look else where. If I do a center console then mounting depth no longer becomes and issue and I can use a higher end driver or two and get more output
