That, and this subject has been discussed way too much, already.

FWIW, I run an 8" kicker sub in a 0.3 cubic ft. enclosure that sits to the left of the passengers left leg. It is about 4 1/8" thick in the front and 5 1/16" thick in the rear (near seat), so not much side to side leg room is lost and no leg room is lost front to back.
It is definitely not integrated, but sounds amazing and is not in the way (also is carpeted in black, so blends in ok), so it has stayed that way for 3 yrs. I'd like to have a custom enclosure made for either behind or under the passenger seat, but it's just not a priority, especially when the cost of a custom FB enclosure is considered.

The enclosures that you linked are a complete ripoff, quite frankly. Those prices are anywhere from 4 to 10 times as much as I was quoted by my local audio shop for a custom fiberglass enclosure.

My current sub...look closely.
