Does anyone know if a Infinity Basslink subwoofer would fit underneath the seats of a Celica. I plan on, hopefully, purchasing a Celica sometime in the near future and currently am laying out the plans for the audio system. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated!

I highly doubt that it would fit under the front seats and there's no way it would in the back, in coupes at least. The trunk is pretty much the only option for a good audio system I'd say, unless you make a custom enclosure to go elsewhere.

Yeah, there's no way you'll get an Infinity Basslink sub to fit under any of the seats. I'd suggest going with something better for the same price and putting it in the trunk.
 You don't seem too into car audio, but if you are, you could always make a custom fiberglass enclosure that can go somewhere else. I've got plans for summer to make something really cool for my car that will put my subwoofer somewhere besides in my trunk.

Actually I'm pretty big on car audio (not anything extreme, just a real big fan lol). The bass I heard from the Basslink's system seemed pretty clean and relatively easy on the ears (I have a small family and I cant go too far out as far as I would want to). Anyways, most likely the system would go into a hatchback due to the better accoustic properties. Another thought I had, as far as placement goes, is cutting a section out of the lower back of the front seat (If that makes any sense..?lol) and fitting it kind of like how a monitor fits into the back of a headrest. Or could the Cover panel for the actual hatch be capable of supporting the weight of a couple basslink's? (my preference to the basslinks stems from the relative cheap cost, ease of installation as i cant spend too much time on it, and its relative small size in opposition to my current 15" audiobahn).

First of all let me tell you I am big fan of infinity product they are some of the best. The basslink is the best powered sub on the market that I know of. It does have one draw back and that is the fact that it is really big and bulky. It will know fi under your seat. But it is still an excelent choice for a sub.
peace out, William |

If you were to mount your subwoofer in your seat, it would heavily limit sound quality and SPL. Your "box" will simply be made of cloth and filler, and if the Basslinks aren't infinite baffle type subs (IB subs are kinda sucky anyways), you'll find linear distortions in the way your sub plays, mainly due to you sitting in the seat and the oddities of the space, which could force the speaker to play oddly. Also, if you're looking to put subs in the hatch cover (not sure what that is, i don't have a hatch), you would probably need to reinforce the structure and build a box underneat it. It would also be a good idea to place the woofers near the back of your hatch. If this makes sense, I'm not as dumb as I think I am.
