Ive fitted JL TR splits up front and 6 1/2 rears to replace the stock speakers. Its sounds suprisingly nice which will only be improved once I dynamat the doors.
I would like a tad more bass however, not heaps, just to improve the low end.
I dont want anything in the cargo area so am looking at underseat sub / amp combo's to put under the passenger seat. Anyone have any experience with these and recommendations?

Focal BUS20 or BUS25 get good mentions around MEA.
ASCII a stupid question, get a stupid ANSI!

Slotted front rotors. (Sherpa) 14'' 6 Spoke mags, Chrome Gear Shift (sick!), Alloy Pedals (sicker!), new positive and negative battery terminals, Alpine cda-9827 H/U, JBL GT 6x9's boxed and mounted (sickest!), Kicker DS650.2 component speakers mounted in the footwells in flibreglass pods, Alpine MRP-F200 4 channel amp (4x40wRMS), Rebadged with hektik chrome eBay badges, STi stickers for more powaaaa, "leather" handbrake boot, recarpetted with grey/black car carpet from Bunnings, sick Clarke Rubber boot mat, polished and waxed.

+1 on the focala. Probably the only decent underseat subwoofer that doesnt require an external amp.

I had a Kenwood one at first. Thought it was enough until I heard a friends set up and I immediately went out & upgraded.. Mine was shite now that I look back on it

With almost 3 days to go you haven't already put a bid in have you? or is that someone else... Hopefully you will have it installed by the next meet so we can all check out how good it is... Are they easy to wire in?

I used to build stereo's, just never used an under seat sub. I'll wire it with my eyes closed. 
I dont bid till the last 10 sec's. One max bid, winner takes all.

Well done.
They are pretty impressive... For an underseat sub.
