Focus Zetec Audio Upgrade

Hello peoples of the Ford Owners Club!

I have a 2009 Focus Zetec and I'm keen to upgrade the stock audio system. My wants are only to add some subs (underseat - gotta save that boot space) and some new front door speakers.

After some deliberation with many audio fitters I've been told that the Focus is incapable of housing an underseat subwoofer due to the limited space. It seems the Kenwood subs (links below) are the thinnest around (70mm) and they still catch on the seat when it moves.

Now feel free to absolutely roast me but I have to ask:

Is there anything wrong with placing it sideways with velcro (as per) onto the air vents under the seat. Not blocking the vents themselves of course, just resting on top. The cardboard model I made seems to fit fine and with room at the sides for the cabling. Before I buy two subwoofers though it would be good to know if this is a terrible idea first of all.

Anyone else with similar upgrade experience to the focus? Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Michael

    You can fit a 10" Sub in a custom built enclosure which fits in the wheel arch of the boot compartment; I've got it fitted along with two amps and still fit the child's buggy in.
