Default sub placement

Since no one is really in the audio part of this site. and I really only care about the fox bodys for this question coupes in general.
I would like to know where everyone has put there subs and maybe even pictures if you coould I want to get rid of my two 12's and run two 10's and want to also get rid of the heavy weight of the box as much as posible. I know that the Idea of removing weight such as back seat and rear trunk carpet and pannels to only add the weight of speakers is RICE or whatever but it is just what I want to do.

i have a single 12" box with a polk momo svc 4ohm 12" sub. i had it in my hatch but its really annoying when your license plate rattles, so i moved it in my backseat, its a single slanted box sitting between my driver & pass seat. sounds really good too.

I have one 12" in the spare tire well of my coupe facing the rear, the whole trunk has dynamat. I added a glass lid to take a few pounds off. But subs are nondirectional so point them any way you want

I built my own box to house 2 10's. It's small enough to fit in the trunk. If you're worried about weight, take it out when you race. That's what I started doing

Takes a tenth off of the time, but makes up for it in sound and looks. Only the plate is big enought to fit the hatch, the box isn't that big. I have 4 10's in the diff. and the hatch. He He

My sub is in the best place ever.. it never gets in the way, doesnt need to be remove when i go to the track, and doesnt add any extra weight to my car.
