Its in her 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Limited. We have since added a pair of subs to her car and the factory one is no longer really needed 
But she wants to keep it where it is.
I am thinking that a small 8 or 10 in the truck would do the trick, but first I am going to try amplifying the pair of 6x9's that I put in it to see how they do. My audio friend tells me they can put out some decent bass if amplified. I trust his opinion as he has won several sound competitions, been in 17 magazine shoots and 3 tv shows for his audio work.

I put some 8" in small sealed boxes under the seat of my 85F150. They sounded like crap! Blew up in under 10 minutes, too.

The one in her Legacy has been going for 6 years and still is decent for a factory system. I have never pulled it out to see what components they used, but with a big ole gas tank behind the seat there are very few options in these old trucks.

I've had amps under my seat before but never subs. I have two JL 10W1s behind my seat now with two antique Autotek amps between them.
Can of worms but I would vote for getting the tank out of the cab. I say this but I still need to get a under bed tank. Mines in the very front of the bed.

But for now the tank is staying until I figure a better location Initially we will be doing a small tank below the factory seat tank that will house the electric fuel pump. I have been looking at the Mustang tank in the rear that some have done, but we will more than likely be putting in a fuel cell eventually in the rear with a Fuel Labs or Aeromotive 1300 hp pump (E85 has much greater fuel demand).

If you have put in the bucket seats, you could incorporate a sub box into a center console. I put a box inside the center console of my friends 2005 f150 and it did more that enough. Just my 2 cents.

In my Subaru and my 89 mustang I run a single 10" Alpine dual voice coil Type R pushed by 500 watt RMS Kennwood amplifier. For the money the Alpine is a wonderful sub. It honestly hits harder than I need. If I can encorporate one of these into the truck I would be very happy.
