I'm wrestling over where to put a sub in my car. I would like to put it in a morph sub kit and have it hidden with my cocoa mats. Either way the mats would completely cover the speaker grill.

Is this a waste of time, in other words will those heavy mats just muffle out the base?

My top three choices are:
Morph sub kit
The small powered sub self contained closure that could slip behind the seats or upside down under the steering column (under dash above pedals)
Recessed in backpad (I would hate to cut a hole in my back wall though)
Thanks, Mark

I have a sub in the front trunk....I can feel it and hear it quite fine...so can anyone else if I turn it up.
Its all about the feeling of the lower bass, not a speaker directed into your face.

My son has 4 subs in his truck in the rear seat.
It sounds worse than my single sub...just because the direct bass tends to drown out the mids and highs far to much.
The music is in the mids and highs..the bass is mixed as background..and you should design your system to reflect the music...

From what I have found...a properly sized sub and amp will push the right wavelengths through just about anything...so mats wont affect it at all.
