Hey OP - Didnt read the thread but I have this and works great - plus its a 10" - fits SUPER easy behind the rear seat with plenty of room to spare.

Default Cerwin vega sub

I have this sub and it hits pretty good for a single 10. I did have to tap the rear speakers to get any bass out of it. The outputs from the sub connector didnt give out enough juice.

The crossover sucks 85-150hz. Should be much closer to 30hz.

You are setting the highest frequency the sub receives with the crossover control, not setting it's frequency response range.

You will have a substantially better sounding system if you tap the front channels instead. The rear channels have an 80hz highpass filter applied that cannot be defeated. This means the everything below 80hz will roll off. The front channels are full frequency.

That crossover adjustment is a lowpass crossover. Whatever you set it at, frequencies below that number will play. AKA 30 hz if that's the bass note in the song.

Where is the best spot to tap the fronts? Can you do it without taking off the door panels?

Yup. FOR-11CK harness. Plug and play. Splice in at the harness. No modification of the factory wiring.

It sounds better than the powered boxes, surprisingly good, really.

Unless you are sold on the ease of the powered set-ups. I'm not sure I would count on any long term reliability of either of those units.
Do you think that the 8" version would fit and still retain the ability to fold up the seats completely? or is the 6.75" the biggest version you could run? Also, do you think there would be room to run one on the passenger side as well?

I’m not sure you could get the seat to stay up with the 8in. And yes, you could easily put another one on the passenger side, once I get my swingcase and relocate my jack, I plan to do just that. I have the 4ohm version, another one in parallel will present a 2ohm load to my amp, basically doubling the power output.
