I've been planning to install a sub in my car for years, but just haven't got around to it yet, partially because I didn't want to be disappointed with the results, as I have been so many times before. In my case, with a 1973 car with comfort seats, there is not enough room under them to install the sub. About the only place I can put one is on the rear package shelf.
Do you have any thoughts about that location?

Steve probably has the experience points on me by a mile, with the various trial and error...but...
Mine is on the rear seat shelf - created by the folded down back seat(s) - and it's a decent size, but the box fits perfect on the folded seat behind me and although not optimum by purist standards it does really fill in the sound. I have a pretty ample amp and able to power it to overcome not being flush on the floor, etc...
If you get the right power source and the right sub, I feel you would be happy. My 911 is in my storage unit right now, so no photos, no video, but if it comes down to you needing that I am happy to help...
I feel like the folded down seat, at least in my 86, does let the sub resonate a bit through the car...if that makes sense?
When I turn the sub "off" from the head unit I can definitely tell a big difference....but I have pretty much zero bass going to my 4 (component) speakers.
