No matter what you put in there, it is never going to sound good.
I would either take it to a good audio shop and let them see what they can salvage of the install, which might involve fiberglassing what is there in to seal it properly, though you'd still have a huge amount of lost footwell space, or look into something like I have, whether you purchase it as a complete solution from the shop that did mine, or have a local shop custom fab it for you.
Just my $.02.

Hey, I agree with you. I'm just glad the floormat completely covers it, so it's not an eyesore to me. Since the carpet's already cut up down there, I think I'll stick with that location for a sub... and maybe go with something like yours.
Once I have some money to play with all that stuff... I also still need to pull up the dash speakers (driver's side dash keeps cutting out) and see if they're the original speakers or upgrades.
