That may be a challenge, as there is already some stuff under both seats. I had to move some things around to fit my sub amp when I in stalled a Car Audio Innovations sub behind the drivers seat, and I can not imagine fitting a sub under either seat there, but good luck!

Your best bet is to fit a small one behind the passenger seat as there is just not enough room under either of them.

I have one fitted that is just wedged behind the back of the seat and covered by a floor mat. It's a Clarion one that I bought about 5 years ago, but this is something similar...

imo to mount any size woofer, you will have to consider "rear seat delete".....then easy going for any size woofer (altho question need for a woofer in these cars if you upgrade headunit/speakers/amp coupled with primary exhaust delete)......

the stock amp is under the passenger seat, but not enough room even when you do new amp-trunk install and for sure cannot mess with stuff under driver's seat.

I can actually feel it more than hear it. But it's presence is definitely known.

I struggled with this myself and finally decided to put a pair of 6.5" Polk Audio's in the door with an amp in the trunk.

I spoke to an audio guy last night who's worked on a few 911s. He suggested Bass Shakers under each seat. Not the perfect solution and not as harmonically accurate as a sub woofer, but with Focal door speakers and a good amp, it should "fill in" the base very well.

I am currently looking at these underseat options:
Pioneer TS-WX11A
Alpine SWE-1000
Pioneer TS-WX210A

I havent measured them up yet though.

I have the Alpine SWD1600 behind the drivers seat. I doubt you could actually fit anything under either passenger or driver seat.

Guys, if yo want to go cruzin with the pimp tunes pumpin, surely a Honda Civic is more suitable?! You can get a good set on neons under the cills too.
I have just installed a becker head unit in my 964 which sounds fantastic with my upgraded speakers, but I still don't have it turned on as I find myself listening to my flat 6 instead!!

I put an amp and a pair of 10"s in my daughter's 525 trunk. What a difference. I think many would be surprised at how much better the 964 would sound with a similar setup. You feel it more than hear it and it tricks your mind and makes the sound seem much fuller. I might look into it. Don't listen to the radio much though.
