What do you mean by fit? Just toss em in the truck and you are set. Personally I didn't need that much base no wanted to tax the system so I just have a 10in Infinity Sub woofer. Haven't gotten around to putting it in since I want to do my battery relocation first.

Here is the install I did in 1101 a few years ago. It was just a single ten but I wasn't looking to grab unwanted attention.

Exactly. No one notices me and I want to keep it that way.

I made a new piece to go behind the rear seat, its in the attic now as the car is in teardown (going to the jig next week) Same shape as the piece of cardboard behind the seats. I have a sony xm-250x amp on the left side of the ski hatch then over the ski hatch I made a plate that can slide which has an infinity 10" facing through the hole. Speaker cables run up along where the trunk springs are.

If i need to use the ski hatch i just slide the sub across out of the way. The whole set up is covered by a curtain of black fabrick so when the trunk is open its not visible, and the car is practicle too. I previously had two rockford fosgate 8" and the infinity 10" running off a different amp (an infinity ra6006 in the trunk but the sound was lost behind the seat and the cabin sounded flat. This setup even though the sub is in free air is much more alive.

Its all 12mm marine ply, looks a bit rough but i hope the description gives you the idea!

I have a single ten in a bandpass box, powered by a 250 amp. My install is nothing fancy, amp mounted to the box & box ratchet strapped to hold it in the trunk. Also comes right out if I need the room or wish to shed the weight. sound is good for rock but would probably fall short if you listen to a lot of rb/rap.

 

Depends on the mood I am in. I usually run 2 Alpine Type R 12's, when I want to change things up I put in my big boy box 3 Jl audio 10w6's in a custom 1" plexi glass box. Both fit snugly between the wheel wells but that jl box is quite heavy lol so most of the time its in the accord....I run either my alpine MRVF1507 and MRVF540 or the JL 1001/1 and JL 300/4(should have never sold them lol.

I run two 6.5" subs mounted in the rear deck in the factory spots run off an old ADS Powerplate 4 channel. Guests always compliment the bass then /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif when I pop the trunk and there is no box. My GF's car runs this beast
