That being said, I'm using a single 8" in a ported enclosure in my WRX wagon. It does pretty well, and I haven't really found the need to replace it.

Thrash or anyone...
To stop the dreaded baffling of the Sub in back - Take that vert panel out behind the waterfall and sell it to me please.. Charcoal (or black preferred).

I had that pesky panel out yesterday trying to think of a way to fit a 10" sub in it with my Arc Audio 5.25"s. The 5.25' are a direct fit, the amp fits, pioneer HD rec fits, the 10 slim fits horizontal but will not breath or likely thump correctly without rattles. I'd be interested in your second box esp if passenger side.
Back to drawing board. Indeed - G/L to u as well. Keep us posted.

I'll keep you in mind if one sub is all I need.
Great idea for the sub, maybe in the center of the vert partition w/some reinforcement (but would the top still fold down?), maybe one of the 10" thin subs could fit there? The breathing might work fine? Hmmmm ... What would MarkCZ do?

There are several pre-made fiberglass boxes available for the rear tubs in C6. A shallow 10" will fit in all of them, and a 'normal' sized will fit in some. None currently available will allow a 'full sized' 10" to fit (bigger than 10w3).
Other than that, it's MDF
I'm actually on my way out to the garage right now to make a new box for my next setup

If you don't mind cutting a hole in it to mount the sub through, then attaching some sort of box to the back end of it, then sure, why not.
I never really paid much attention to the partition, so I have no idea what the back end of it looks like, or how sturdy it is, or how much room is back there.

Its pretty rigid, plastic and carpet, and you could hot-glue a big XTC foam baffle to seal it (or something more rigid)? But there isn't much space back there when the top is down, just thought it a decent idea from the previous poster ...

I know this is more ambitious than what you are planning, but it does show how much room there is to install subs/amps/etc.
If you used a shallower sub you would not have to trim the tonneau.
And it's the right color for your car.

I just went the simple route when installing a sub in the back of my 2011 GS coupe:
Here is the sub box I purchased from VetteNuts and an 8" JL Audio subwoofer (8W3v3-4). I only lose the space of 1 cubby with this setup.
The sub is powered by an Arc Audio 5-channel amp (XDi805).

I went the same route (5 posts up) with 2 of their "Vert" pods, but always looking for better angles ...
