Subwoofer in stock location
i had a punch p2 8inch in the stock location with no dynamat and facing the seat, it sounded horrible for two reasons, the sub sucked and my rear section rattled like no tommorow, i ended up ripping it out and going subless
Here's my setup, which is very similar to "asteffy"s. Great minds think alike 
Actually, my pic hosting site is down, so I'll post pics later.

I will attempt this as well. I like the clean OEM look, uncluttered trunk/hatch space so I can carry my gym clothes/books (leaving the passenger seat for a passengar), and better weight distribution.
Very happy, It's not real boomy, and no rattles in the rear section of the car. Nice, tight bass, louder than I need while driving, and accurate. The amp is a 250w mono from JL, but I forget the model number. The sub amp is mounted in the glove box, and there's another 4-channel amp (forgot that number, too) mounted below the glove box for the Boston separates, front and rear.
I'm a trauma nurse, so I get a lot practice putting patients back together. Plus, if you make straight cuts you end up with more material to work with. I think I bought 40 sq ft of the FatMat, and there was some left over after I did both doors, the sub compartment, the area around the rear speakers, and the sub box.
EDIT: I think the box must be 18.5" wide by 12.5" deep. Sorry for the wrong dimensions above - don't know what I was thinking.

Forgot to post a pic of the grille. I popped off the Blose emblem, sanded it flat and polished it, and then glued it back onto the grille:
I also used FatMat on the back of the grille, in all the little squares, but that may or may not be necessary. I never tried the grille without the FatMat, but I had a lot of little scraps that I was only going to throw away.

I was looking on ebay and spotted this custom Sub box from SRQ Custom Autosound.
It looks like it uses the OEM mounting tabs to secure the box, and it fires down.
Anyone using this?
I'm concern about the weight of the box plus sub being roughly 30lbs or more and the aluminum frame won't be able to support this weight over time, especially over bumpy roads.

I just wonder how the box is fastened to that frame, since I don't see any screws. The other concern is how does it sound with no actual outlet for the bass from the compartment that houses the enclosure and glovebox.

I'm not talking about a weakness of joint between the metal plate of the enclosure and the frame of the car. My concern is the connection between the box of the enclosure and the metal plate of the enclosure.
As for some sort of rear support, maybe install the enclosure and temporarily remove the glovebox. You might be able to reach in from the glovebox side and see how much clearance there is between the bottom of the enclosure and the floor of the car. Then you could fasten an appropriately-sized rubber or wooden block to the underside of the box, to offer the addition rear support.

Good idea about the secondary support. Maybe I'll cut out a piece of high density foam that way if my cut is not that precise, it'll just compress.
