If I had it to do again, I would have this or one of the similar offerings under my driver seat. No fuss, relatively inexpensive and enough bass for my needs.Has anybody tried the Pioneer TS-WH500A?
I have the WHT 8” sub bracket. Not satisfied with the sound produced, I ended up dynamatting it and building a small sealed enclosure behind the sub cut out. A lot of work considering I bought the bracket looking for an easy solution.
The problem with just running an unboxed sub in that location is that it's not a suitable location for a free air sub (aka an "infinite baffle sub"). Free air subs require a baffle between the front and rear. What's behind doesn't need to be an enclosure of any particular volume (ie a car trunk) or shape but it does need to be separate from the front.
Aside from the all-in-one units, I think a pair of 6 1/2 or 6 3/4 subs built into a small sealed enclosure using the storage cubby as the sides and back could be an easy, decent sounding solution.
