passenger side rear cubby you can make a 10" enclosure.
This is the general idea.

Btw I used a tube style sub enclosure with an Alpine 10" type R sub and a 500 watt amp driving it.
The pics are before I recovered it in black carpet and put the Alpine sub in.

Those speakers give alright bass, i dont listen to too many songs with bass in them but they work great. I have 4 in the car, I have a kenwood like the one you posted but mine is a little different

Yeah it is the 3rd one that I have had. I love it. The only bad thing i think really is the volume doesnt go past 35. Idk if thats a problem to you or not, but when im cruising with the windows down i like my music to be loud so i can hear it over other cars etc..

I bought the Tube for $5 or $10 at an auction a year or so ago, and the carpet was some walmart stuff.
Really it is just a temporary thing until I copy this into my car.

I have this done in my 924s, and you can slide the seat all the way back with no issues. The box has an MDF face and is fiberglass for the seat tubs. It works pretty well, and mounts 2 10" subs with no issues. The box is sealed and since its not reflecting off the back glass its not a boomy location, its a very tight sound and gives a good back massage when cranked wayyy up lol. If you wanted you could effectively run the subs as part of a 3 way array using the rear speaker locations as well.

Also what year is your car?
If it is pre 87 (I think) you can only put 4x6's in the rear unless you want to cut some metal out.
I have Infinity reference series 6.5"s in the rear and some Pioneer 4x6 in the fronts.
Really it sounded pretty good, but I had the sub setup laying around so I went for it.

You can make your own pretty cheap.

Ok my whole setup.
Alpine CDE-103BT blue tooth head unit
Alpine MRP-M500 500 watt amp
Alpine SWR-1022D 10" Sub
Infinity Reference 6022i 6.5 rear speakers
Total cost if bought new? Probably close to $900 and then you need front speakers.
I think I have ~$500 in mine by buying some used and on sale.
