Are you talking about this sub?
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...-SW1001S2.html
This is the one I purchased hoping it would fit in the stock location. Since the magnet does not taper in like most other subs it makes it difficult to install in the stock 10" location. If you were able to install this sub there please let me know how you did it. The only way I can see doing it is to either dremel the stock sub location or to mount the sub higher up and not hidden under the stock speaker grille.
Oh and how does it sound? Thanks.

yes, it was installed by professionals (I think they did minor mod, cutting the plate off with scissors) and it sounds pretty good... I personally do not like it to be too loud... and it shakes the back window...

I like the way it sounds, but when you crank it, the deck lid rattles or speaker covers. I am using Alumapro 600 watt amp amp and 4 (8) inch sub in a sealed enclosure. Sounds very good for the money and effort I spent. If I can just get the rattling to stop, I would be 100% happy with it! I completely removed the stock sub itself and using that whole as a port for sound to get into the cabin.
Oh yea and for those who are wondering, a sealed box is way better than a ported one. The holes on the box let out a lot of the bass leaving you with a rattling trunk but hardly any bass in the cabin

I pulled off the speaker grilles and it eliminated most of the rattling. Left the deck lid alone though because it's my top tail light. I'm happy with how it sounds now you should try it 1992Lexus !

If your going to do it, do it right.....
Custom fiberglass enclosure with a JL 12w7. 1.325 ft^2 of airspace measured with water. Takes up practically no space in the trunk....Im actually in the middle of this install and im waiting on some dynamat, CCF, and some mass loaded vinyl barrier....ill post completed pics when done in about a week (im doing so many other projects at the same time)
Sorry about quality of pics, taken with cell phone (HTC Incredible)

How about aesthetic quality? I have a bunch of cars, and regardless of whether I need it or not taking the backseat out to accommodate a big ugly a$$ box simply aint gonna happen.

Dude, you made me wake my GF up with my laughter. So it's your contention that everyone here that chose to KEEP THEIR BACKSEAT has it WRONG? How about aesthetic quality? I have a bunch of cars, and regardless of whether I need it or not taking the backseat out to accommodate a big ugly a$$ box simply aint gonna happen.

I have a bunch of cars, and regardless of whether I need it or not taking the backseat out to accommodate a big ugly a$$ box simply aint gonna happen.+ its a 2 door that is like a supra or rx7 no backseat. i dont like more then 1 person in the car at a time just more ppl that could mess up ur car

well that "big a$$ box" is going to look stockish and i willbet money that it will sound better then any setup u can fit in the trunk with a small box! u gotta know that its alll about the box i like bass. i have no use for a back seat thats ment for 12 yr old to sit .

Three things wrong with your statement.
1- how in Christ's name are you going to make a big-*** box in your backseat look stock.
2- JL recommends a 15*15*15.5 sealed enclosure adding up to 1.325 cubic feet. It's not one of those "the bigger the better" ordeals like you claim, its simply math. In addition a bandpass/ported box sounds way to muddy and defeats the purpose of an acoustically accurate sub like a W7.
3- Bass is non- directional. Ever wonder why you hear people "Bumping" from a distance? It doesn't really matter where the sub is located so having it right behind you or in the trunk will not make a difference. As long as you remove the partition behind the back seat and take out the stock sub, It will sound the same if not better. Also having a w7 blasting next to my ear probably isn't the smartest thing to do..
just my 2 cents....
