I went with the Kicker Hideaway 11HS8. It fit behind the backseat with wiring ran behind the carpet. I tapped into the B-pillar wires for signal. Amp control and power wiring were ran along the driver's side floor. The remote gain knob is mounted with with sticky back tape under the steering wheel adjust lever where it is out of sight. Be sure to do the FORScan mod to flatten EQ. It does fill out the sound and is pretty nice for inside the cab. Just don't expect a super loud system like you would get from two true subs mounted in a box. My brother says it sounds better than his B&O subwoofer in his F-150.

Are you runing the OEM for the rest of the system?

JL Audio makes an enclosure for under the rear seat. It fits in place of that useless storage box on the passenger side and holds a 10" sub. I almost bought it but my installer claims he can built a better one that's ported for the same cost.

I am for now. I will be upgrading the door speakers as well, but need to find which ones will sound OK with the lower power from the OEM head unit. Not looking at installing another amp to power those. I’m well passed my true system days. The front sounds good to me because of the pillar tweeters, but I’m guessing the back would sound better with two or three-way speakers in the doors. The FORScan mod to flatten the EQ helped a good bit.

Mine's under the driver's seat.
Same here,I have the Alpine PWE-S8 paired with Power Bass OE65C-FD and OE652.
The Alpine fit like it's made for the Ranger. I do not have power seats
