Advice request: Adding a sub to sync 3

[jmw0404]

I have the standard sync 3 and think the sounds is decent enough. I just wish there was a little more bass to balance things out.

I figured if the B&O system has a sub, it should not be too difficult to add an after market. Does anyone know how/where the B&O sub is installed?

Would a powered sub like the JBL BassPro SL or Kicker 11HS8 Hideaway an option? Are they any good?

The sub is behind the back seat.

The sub is behind the back seat.

Any chance you have a picture. I see on the back driver side there is place on the flow that looks like a mounting point. I just wonder if this is where Ford bolts the sub.

Here's a couple from mine.

Thanks! Did you build your own box? I've looked around online and can't find one that looks like it will fit. If you have a design or a source would you mind posting? I found a low profile 10" driver on parts express that will work in a 0.3cft sealed box. I haven't started working out the dimensions.

I haven't made my box yet. The one in the pic is prefab from Rockford. To get it to fit I had to cut the back carpet. but yes the biggest u can get back there is a 10 shallow

I also had this question a couple weeks back and came across DarkRelms' post. That led me to purchase this Pioneer prefab box https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQTU3SA and this Pioneer shallow-mount sub https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054REBYK.

This was the thinnest box i could find, even more so than the one by Rockford. It should also fit by cutting off some protruding carpet on the passenger side. Mine is being installed Monday after which I'll upload some pics.
