95 C4 993,
Rod Birch installed Image Dynamics subs in my 993's rear footwells as shown in your photos. There should be a detailed thread on the installation if you do a search. The subs are excellent and well-integrated. He even sourced the original chestnut brown or burgundy carpet for them, and the kids still can ride in the back, albeit with a little less room for their feet. Rod is an absolutely great guy, and knows his stuff.
Best of luck with your decision.

I put two Alpine SWD-1600 units in my 993 Cab. One under each of the front seats. Both are hooked-up to an Alpine Head-Unit with sub output - sounds great.

I had no idea their was enough room to fit subs under the seats. Thats great ! If I had known, I probably would have gone that route vs the custom rear seat delete- sub replacement.

Subwoofers, 50 cent, spinners...well we should send the RL Porsche Police and confiscate the 993, sell it and buy him a ricer for 1/3 of the price, the rest we should have a BBQ

Another option - I recently added the Sirius SIR-PS1 powered subwoofer in the rear footwell.

mine are in the door
I used 2 kicker free air midbass drivers in the doors. They dont sound crappy like most free air applications. I had about $500.00 of special dampning compound applied to the doors so the are airtight and dont rattle. I have CDT audio seperates in kick panels for superior imaging. The bass doesnt go super low but it does sound very accurate and tight. I also have a Brax 4 channel amp mounted to a custom amp rack mounted to the shock towers in front of the fuel tank. I wanted the car to appear stock but sound great.
