I believe I probably said a free air mounted 8" would the best choice for an easy free air mounting. Jazzman says that his car doesn't have the factory hole that Aaron (APT CSVT) and others have on their car. To be honest I thought all of our cars had it, but I trust that Brian knows what he is looking at. He didn't have a jig saw to open it up, so I thought that maybe a small (.4 cubic foot) box suspended underneath might be a good compromise of sound and space.
Aaron, is using a free air 8" sub on the rear deck with good results as well as Colin (cthomp21).
