frist you need to know how much air space you 12" sub needs. then you need to find out if you can make a box that big fit behind the seat. There is a pre fab box made for a single cab truck you may fit behind a seat if you give up some room.

you'll have more luck making one yourself, or paying car audio shop to make a custom one for you.

truck boxes are about the only thing you are gonna be able to get back there (now that is depending on how tall you are.. but then again you can just place it behind the passenger seat). otherwise you will have to make some kind of custom box.

12" sub? Man, how you gonna get that back there? I'm designing the boxes for my 6-1/2's and I'm gonna lose about an inch of seat travel to make room.

Why do you need a 12" sub in a car that small? I mean, I find it difficult rationalizing my two 6-1/2's (except that only using one would make things uneven LOL). Anyway, you might want to save yourself some frustration and consider going a bit smaller. Check out Elemental Designs (Elemental Designs). They have some killer subs that are pretty compact and some don't even need to be boxed. Frequent sales, too.

i have 2 10s. my boxes are from a ford ranger 80 something.
they fit perfect and boom hard, and i didnt need to sacrafice any leg room or seat tilt
i just dont know if the space behind the mk1 is the same as in the mk2.
pm me if you need pictures bro.

That's the approach I'm going to go with; a box made for a standard cab S-10 or Ranger. For me, personally, I'm going with an 8" or 10" subwoofer behind the passenger seat (I'm 6'1")

lol tall as hell! haha

we have a large 8" behind the passenger seat in my wifes car that gives off more than enough bass for the MR2.... it's a quality MA audio sub (had a huge magnet... dont' forget the size.... but the sub itself probably weighs around 8 to 10 lbs... the magnet was over 8" and about 6" deep).... the seat is restricted from moving back all the way....

I might suggest a good small 8" or find a 10" that allows for an open space install.

How about mounting your 12 inch in between the seats. I just bought a JL 12w7. And I'm planning on mounting it between the seats. I think I'm going to need a custom fiberglass mold.
