It appears to be a nice option. There are several Subwoofer options.

It looks like a single JL 12TW3 is the popular option but they can do two 10s as well.

I have only read good things about Mobile Toys but have no experience with them…

Jl also has there Stealth box which does take up floor space .

Nope but i would be very interested in finding out more. Does anyone know if you can add a sub to the base stereo in a Gen 2?

The LC2I From Audio Control is popular for the above question. It is not needed though. I am running a Audio Control DM-608 for some tune ability for the rest of the system and of course the sub.
Currently I have the factory Ford/Kicker which is not enough.

I'm also looking for a link for ANY behind the seat subwoofer box to replace the OEM box.

Mobile toys is a world class shop. 19 world titles for competitions and show cars, top 50 shop in the us, multiple top 100 installers awards.

They built these for me. Their boxes are incredible. Adam Pate is the guy you want to speak with.

I spoke with Adam Pate on Saturday about the options and the type of music I listen too. Originally I was going to do the single 12 or maybe the 13.5. After talking to Adam I decided on two JL 10TW3s behind the seat in a sealed box. I will post the results when it arrives.

I received the subwoofer this last Thursday and it looks well built. It fits nice and is loaded with two JL 10tw3s. I am still playing around with it. I removed the liner on the back wall and sound deadened the back. I set the subwoofer in place with out the liner for now. I think I may be able to get it to fit with the liner but it will be tight. I will need to spend some time fitting.
I am powering the sub with 500W from a Alpine PDX-V9, witch I was told would work fine but 1000W is ideal. FWI
With out even tuning it sounds much better. I listen to a wide range of music and the two 10s seem to work well. The base is punchy and not boomy and I am still using my original sound processor settings. I hope to play around with it and do some tuning this weekend.

That is with the two JL 10s and shipping. 12s are also an option.

I re-purposed the factory Ford Kicker top bracket to help hold the box against the real wall. It worked great. It did require drilling two new mounting holes, one inch lower on the bracket.

I will need to take some more photos. I have a before install pic just sitting on the box it was shipped in.
