Denz, yes you can cut that support piece out without any problems. I had it cut out on a previous MR2 I had for the same reason you're doing, to fit a larger box as low as possible. I was able to make a 1.1cubic foot box on each side, and i lost zero reclining room. It is a great way to go if you're comfortable cutting metal out of yoru car, and building subwoofer enclosures yourself.
Things to note, when you do cut/remove those support/frame pieces, make sure to clean and paint the bare metal spots, otherwise it WILL rust. Also, if there are any sports where the frame used to attach to the floor board metal and you end up with holes going straight through, I'd recommend welding the holes shut, or at the very least use some sort of plastic/rubber plug to plug up the hole. either way you do it, make very very sure you don't leave any bare metal anywhere, prime and paint anything that gets left bare.
