FYI: A sub in the front trunk is kind of pointless since it is a sealed compartment, separate from the passenger compartment. I've seen one that had an air passage into the passenger compartment, but it seemed like a lot of work and overkill for the result.

Yup, I put one in the frunk. I did feel a little base in the cabin but the hood vibrated like crazy and it sounded ridiculous outside. Thought about one of those Kenwood units but found it interesting that the poster above couldn't find a good place for it.

I can recommend the Porsche door subs, you will probably find a used pair on eBay. Then fit some rear speakers if you don't have them already. Then fit a LOC from the front speakers to run an amplifier to run the subs in the doors. A decent amplifier can transform the door subs. The Porsche amp really does suck.
