Default s197 stang- putting subs under the bucket seats?

Im fine with my sound right now but i want a little more "oomff" from my bass.

Wondering if it was possible to throw a 10" sub under each bucket seat. Would also wire an amp to these two.

I just HATE when i see systems in trunks and the whole trunk rattles. Just seems not professional to me.

If you have any insight on this, would love to know! and if anyone of you know a walkthrough to open up the bucket seats?

I don't know about under the seats, but I've seen some 8" Kickers and JL's mounted in the doors.

a 10" under a mustang seat? Not likely unless you're re-fabbing the floor. I have two 12's in my trunk and it doesn't rattle one bit. It's not a Honda.

Im pretty sure the bucket seats come up, so thought it was possible to throw a 10" under each?

Under those seats is pretty cramped. One of these days I may attempt to shoehorn a car PC under the passenger seat, but that is about it. In my opinion, any sub that fits under the seats will reproduce little to no sub bass.

OTOH, you could always try those tactile transducers, more commonly known as bass shakers, to vibrate your seats. Something like **this**

I installed my alarm under my seat and still needed to raise the seat a 1/4 " to keep it from rubbing. IFyou can find an speaker that is less then 2" deep and needs not enclosure you will be fine.

There is even less space under the back seat.

I'd make sure you find a car that has them 1st... It would be a waste of alot of cash if you end up not liking it.
