Default Sub in center console?

I can't seem to find an answer for my question here but id like to add a sub somewhere in the truck without even knowing where it was. SCREW and it doesn't look like mounting behind the rear seats is going to work because I usually keep the seats in the up position so that will have to be functional, I definitely don't want to add an external sub anywhere in the back of the cab like under the rear seats because I NEED all the space I can get. So my question is has anyone gotten a sub into their center console without modifying the exterior of the console? "column shift model" I know the storage compartment is pretty big but it looks like there might be some usable space on it somewhere. I'm sure I'm just out of luck here but maybe if someone has another idea of where I can possibly put a stealth sub.

Under the driver or pass seat??
I guess it just depends on your installer.

We have a Yamaha YXZ and the shop was able to get the sub 10" under the driver seat. Took them a week but hell its nice.

I'm just gonna throw out there the fact that you're not gonna fit anything that sounds great under a front seat or behind the back seat.
I have a JL Audio 13TW5 under my back seat, it takes up about half of the area under the seat, and the amp is mounted behind the seat on the wall. Mine slams.

I mounted 2 Alpine low profile powered Subs behind seat of my screw I have the seats up 99% of the time no issues whatsoever. Added plenty of bass for my liking. Comes with a control *****. I can rattle the glass if I want to.

Sounds great is an opinion. You might not believe me but the YXZ's sub is plenty loud and clean. And yup its under the seat. With enough work and effort, and decent equipment, anything can sound good.

I'll put my TW5 up against anything you can put behind the seat. And it won't be a competition at all.

I am just going to say, some are not looking for something that "slams" or shakes the rearview mirrors or makes you look like a 17 year old. Just a little more bass is all that is wanted.

That is a nice speaker you have, but look at the OP, exactly not what they wanted.
