The rear seat box is original 89' Checkmate and I have a little rot at the top where the back meets the seat cushion. I'm going to redo the seat box and maybe face the subs forward near the floor or maybe into the engine compartment. I have four 4" Sonys, two are facing forward from the rear seat box, and two are under the bolsters near the floor. When I redo the rear seat box I want to remount those as well. Two of them will go in the front right under the dash-near your knees when you are driving, and the other two in the fiberglass gunwale right behind the bolsters where the bolster brace is.

So, your subs aren't exposed, right? Sounds like they're contained under the back seat.
I have two 10" Memphis Audio subs I plan to install in my 283 Convincor and I'd prefer to keep them hidden (and not cut holes) if the sound isn't compromised too much. I'm learning a bit as I go. Thoughts?

Yes, they are hidden. When I lift the back seat you can see the magnets. There's not much space on the other side of them but I was told that subs just need enough air on both sides to move freely but they can be sorta confined. I guess the suond can bounce off things and they still sound good, unlike mids and tweeters.

I don't know much about it but I have read that there is a push pull thing with subs moving air and my tight space may not be good. I'm sure there is a better location for them but a 25' boat gets small real quick. My upolstery has to be re-done this winter and I might face them forward.... like toward the feet of someone siting on the back seat.

the location i put mine are the best. that space behind there is the right size for up to 3 10" subs. i almost went that way, but instead i went with bigger speakers outside.

the problem with under the seat is the sound is muffled if they are 100% in the seat, and facing forward like in a stock baja its good, but again you have no "case" the sound just goes everyplace. my set up uses the hole cabin s its "case/box" then the sound and base comes out the door keeping it clean and clear, and letting my outside speakers give a great sound.
if you heard my system, you would copy it. i could rattle the pics of the wall in your house if i was parked in your driveway, yet it still has a very very clean sound. not like the 17 year old in his honda booooom boooom, nig=ce tight crisp clean sound. i love it!!
