It sounds pretty funny (damned funny, actually <g>), but that is actually
where a lot of shops install subwoofers. Problem is that I only have about
1/2" of space under the driver's seat.

BTW, I'm not looking for sphincter-rattling bass, just fuller sound. The 4"
factory-sized speakers don't move much air.  (More of a "wiff" than a
"woof"....
