Here is the picture. It uses the stock sender in the taco plate thingy. The e-brake light is now one of the small ones, next to the alternator warning light.

I don't have a pic of it at work unfortunately, but I replaced the center armrest/cushion between the seats with a similarly sized box that I made from half-inch wood ( I think it was that really densly layered plywood) and installed an upward firing 6 inch woofer. It doesn't provide a ton of bass, but it sounds decent enough, and looks kinda cool.

I'll try to post a pic of it later

Anyone installed a bass-box in the front luggage compartment? Cause that is what I intend to do. Already have 2-way Infinity speakers behind the original grilles. Sound fine, only no bass... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The front trunk is effectively sealed from the cabin. There is no air passage between them. I don't think this will be effective unless you start drilling great big holes in things. To have good bass you need to be able to move the air between the speaker and the listener. You can put a sub in the trunk of a typical car because the trunk isn't really sealed - there's just a fabric seat-back separating the trunk and cabin. In the 914 you would have not just one, but two sealed steel bulkheads separating you from the sub. This could work if you could port from the trunk to the cabin but I don't see how you could with the gas tank in the way.
You could do what a local stereo shop did. They build their competition vehicle out of a 914. They moved the gas tank to the spare tire area (don't know why they didn't use a fuel cell) and then built the old gas tank location into a huge enclosure for 4 x 12" subs firing directly into the cabin under the dash.

Thanks Ben, this sounds logical to me and puts a stop to my plan. Doing complete gas tank relocations is off-limits for me, so I will have to come up with plan B. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I really like Jeff's console (assuming adequate volume). I did a console last year but it was from scratch, not a modified stock console like Jeff's. Did I mention I like Jeff's? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Anyway, I yanked out my console box and built a passenger footwell box and made it fit under the carpet. Stealth. You can't tell it's there unless you know 914's and notice 5 inches of footwell missing. But... I might be tempted to get a real console and modify it like Jeff's. I really like the look and could use some more guage space.

I think this is the subwoofer solution every 914 owner has been looking for.

Think about it.. I'm guessing you could get a (crappy looking) spare targa for ~$40.

I've been thinking about getting this one:

NOS bass tube

Do an under dash mount or on the floor mount in the center where the console would go (no console in my car).

It'll probably get some attention at tech inspection (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That car is too funny.

There was some joke phenomenon on the internet some time ago that the writing on the front bumper on the car alludes to. Otherwise, I might be tempted to think that the license plate refers to the more fishy variety of bass. Here's a video having to do with the joke. Kinda catchy...
