Then throw in the Amp for the front speakers and the cargo space is about the size of 2 shoe boxes.

I started questioning what size I had if a 10" fits but if the 8" is snug in yours Rickreeves1, mine is an 8" as previously stated.
The outside diameter of the tube could be 10" but the speaker is 8".
I think they make shallow subs to fit behind seats in Pick up trucks. With custom boxes you could likey fit them in a C4 vert as well.

I would be a little concerned about damaging the top when closing the lid. Maybe if it was positioned more toward the front but I still doubt it. My 8" was snug and it had pretty thin walls also. The total size of my tube is 18.325" x 8.5" x 10". The 10" measurement is the air port/hump that only runs along one side. This doesn't effect the height if positioned correctly. The subwoofer itself inside the case is 8". If I remember correctly when I first measured with a tape measure, 8" give or take was all the height clearance that there was in the middle of the storage are. If you are interested the spec sheets for the bazooka models give the sizes. http://www.sasbazooka.com/pdf/current/Tubesmanual01.pdf

I had a 10" bazooka in mine. I used the chrome mounting rings and pushed it up touching the front lip of the cargo area (mounted sideways).
I would just barely ket the ragtop fold down into position.
I sold that car.... I'll look to see if I have any pics left.

I used the stock rear speaker locations in my '90 to house a pair of 8" subs. The stock speaker locations are fiberglas boxes moulded to the back wall of the storage compartment. I mounted the subs to MDF and attached the MDF using the original screw holes.
I was even able to mount the stock speaker grills. But I had to use additional spacer blocks to keep the subs from hitting the grills.

And if you want to improve on this further. I got rid of the carpet grills and recovered them with speaker fabric..so you can hear sound coming through them. I can't understand how they covered these things with thick carpet. Wasn't an easy job but worth it.
