I've been wondering about the same thing. I started to go with a powered sub under one of the front seats but it just wouldn't clear without intruding on rear passenger foot room. So now, I am going to explore the possibility of mounting an 8" or 10" in the rear window and place the amp itself under one of the front seats.

My Alpine has pre-amp outs for amps and a sub amp. But I feel that the longer I go with the cable run from the head unit to the sub amp, the more opportunity there will be to introduce interference and hum. So I didn't want to opt for a trunk mount method. However, I may be worrying for nothing there.

Oh WAIT!! I just went back and read your total thread. You are working with a wagon and I'm working with a sedan. MY BAD! But I'll leave this post because it may help to encourage more discussion.

Two places come to mind. The storage area behind the right rear wheel or under the spare tire cover.
