Default Underseat Sub....

I have been looking into these for my pug 206SW, I don't want to spend a fortune as its only my runner (I have a 12" focal in the scoob) just something to improve the stereo in my 206 a bit (Alpine aftermarket).
The two I have been looking at are the Kenwood ksc SW11 or the In Phase USW10 as they both can be had for around £100 and are small enough to fit in the cabin. Has anyone had any experience of either or any others to look at for around the same/ similar money?
Cheers
(Oh and I need the boot space so a "proper sub" isn't an option)

A while back I had the same problem, so I got a pioneer sub like this http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/ar...X77A/page.html
As I found the underfloor subs didn't sound like proper subs tbh.
I mounted it against my back seats so still had good boot functionality with quality proper sub bass, you can even place on boot floor and load stuff on top, it's very durable and strong.

That looks awsome and I think I will be getting one very soon as I have been trying to avoid a bulky sub but still want good sounds. Front door speakers and sound deadening has made a big improvement but it's just not quite enough. How much did you pay as there is no price on that link as far as I can see?

It was a couple of years ago and I think it was around £250-£300 but I'm sure their a lot cheaper now due to oldness, put model number in eBay etc for prices and I'm sure if you look around they maybe a newer model out by now.

That looks an awesome bit of kit, bit more than I wanted to pay but if it that good worth the extra premium?

Looking like a good bet then, maybe it is worth the money over a 'under seat sub' thank you very much for your feedback

I have a Alpine SWE-1000 under the passenger seat and it sounds very good, not eye ball shaking bass (days of eye ball, window shaking bass is long gone! + need room in the boot!) really adds a good depth to anything I listen too.
