fiberglass box
fiberglass box was thinking a box to fit between the rear seats on the hump........anybody already have one or know where to get one I would like to jam a 10" in it if possible
I was thinking a "hump" between the two rear seats from the rear seat back up to the rear cupholders no more than 12" tall so I would still have 2 rear passenger seats and direct the bass towards the front of the car.
Also making it look like a "armrest" for the rear as not to draw attention to it and have it be stolen.
Mounted by the bolts for the female end of the seat belts.

I'm sure no one makes it. You'll have to make it yourself, but that sounds doable.
What sub do you have and how much air space does it need?
Some 10's need about 0.6cu.ft. Have you measured to see if you can get that much airspace?
Is there enough width to mount the sub in the front of the enclosure or will it have to go on the side?

Honestly, because of the hatch, it will be louder firing the subs towards the glass.
hence the idea for the "hump mounted" sub

any ideas?
It totally slipped by me that your a convertible. Your rear seat should already be a bit narrower. Are you sure a box there would still allow the kids to fit?
There are boxes out there specifically for the convertible. Have you seen the box that mounts on top of the gas tank in the trunk? I think they can have 2 8"s and it doesn't use much of your trunk space.
Personally, I'd pull out the rear seat and put a box in that area. Verts need all the bass they can as it just goes everywhere instead of being concentrated in the interior.
Another option is an 8" in the passenger footwell. An 8 up there can be very sharp on the percussion instruments, but not so great on the low frequency stuff. It of course depends on the passenger. If you have one and how tall they are. It could be made to be very quickly removed, though.
Tel us what your loads are. Number of passengers, etc... I'm guessing 2 adults up front and 2 smaller kids in back? How often do you have 2 passengers, how often 3, how often 4? Some type of removable box might be a good idea. If for instance you carried 3 people 90% of the time, you could make a box for a single 12 and mount it in the back seat area and make it removable. Then when the 4 passenger needs to ride, pull it out and suffer a short time with no bass. The upside is that the other 90% of the time you'll have nice big bass. So it all depends.

It is possible, but my memory makes me think it would be very hard to pull off.
1st issue, Width of the box. IIRC, there is only MAYBE 6" to work with before it gets in the way of someone sitting in the seat. So the sub would have to be firing sideways into your childs ear. Hence I see what you mean about forward firing. Also, a 10" mounts about 4 1/2" to 6" deep. This makes it about impossible from what I can remember. (I've been in Iraq for 4 months now)
Also, if there was anything to go wrong, it would have to be padded very well to protect against bumps or worse.
Man. With out taking a GOOD look at something, I can't say yes or no for sure. BUT, I'm leaning more towards no.
Sub-Thump makes a Box to fit a 10" that sits on the Passenger side. Might be your best bet.

Verdad Gallardo never thought about removing it.hmmmmmmmmmmmm
50% of the time it is just me
10% it is me and a ft passenger
40% the ft and rear is filled up. (soccer practice, crusing etc)
I thought an arm rest basically filling the hump might be a posibility from cup holder to rear seat back, mabye a pair of 8" firing isobarrically (spelling?)

Isobaric is where you couple 2 drivers cone to cone or cone to magnet and have them work in tandem. It can cut the air space requirements by half, but I don't see how that would help you.
Also, here is a vert box in the rear. Have you seen these?

could be done wouldnt be too hard...use some construction paper make yourself some templates...cut mdf to make it or bottom and sides mdf and top glass it.... I have seen several nos set ups with the bottle there so im sure someones done a small box...

I was thinking the Isobaric would be a way to stuff 2 8" into a small box for maximum sound.......would that be an option?
thanks to all responding above by the way

It's a regular trunk from a convertible, I think. You know we're talking about convertibles, right?
