Has anyone added a pair of speakers behind the seats but in front of the roof when retracted?

There seems to be enough room to add a small pair back there. I just replaced the door speakers but am missing some bass and the whole "surround" of the music.

I was thinking about adding a bass tube but I think some mids and a woofer would sound better

Somebody on the forum added this subwoofer under their passenger seat. I'm not sure how they got it to fit as is 2.6" tall but they did. They also wrote it sounds amazing. It will give you the bass you are looking for.

Thanks for the tip and the link. There is enough bass in that trunk to make the coupe into a vert !!

Or the Vett nuts corner sub box..which I just ordered. I replaced the rear speakers with JL c2 5.25...they don't add much sound.

I've got a preliminary design for a sub box/amp rack for this area.

That is a fancy box. Unless you are building it yourself, I would think it would be very expensive. That is the optimum solution though for sure.

Well, it would pretty much have to be built in place anyway. I'm just still going back and forth on the sanity of aiming a 200W speaker right at the back of my head.
