Have you checked out what JL Audio has to offer? This might work:

Also, Bruce Miranda installed an aftermarket amp and sub in his car, so this might help. Good luck!

I don't think you will have enough room under the seats to make a proper enclosure for a 12" woofer, even if it is the slim ones.

I asked a professional installer about the possibility of installing the JL Audio slim 12's under the seat and he said it is possible but, there isn't enough room to install a proper enclosure for 12" subs of the slim variety. Any enclosure for slim 12's that fit under the seat will not allow the proper reproduction of bass from the subs. He suggested, 10" or 8" slim subs from Earthquake.
