Alternate solutions for a compact subwoofer for 88 convertible

I am trying to figure out a solution to my "lack of trunk space". currently i have a subwoofer box that consumes the entire truck cargo area. I am not a huge sound connoisseur but do enjoy listening to my 80s rock tunes while cruzing. I am looking at the compact subwoofers that can fit under seats and on the backs of backseats.

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?

Thanks!

It depends how far you are willing to go. With some work you could get a pair of 8's in the rear. That, with a good set of separates in the kicks would handle 80's without much trouble...unless you were talking about Dr. Dre

I have a fosgate p3 in a sealed box uncovered that fits on the left rear of a convertible 89 iroc. I'm willing to let it go for $200 I'll post a pic tomorrow. It sounds great and has plenty of bass, and the only reason I'm willing to let it go is cause I have a focal 27kx going in soon, every speaker is k2 or KRX's in my car currently with focal amps.

Thanks everyone but I am really trying to get away from a box or boards, was just asking about the compact subwoofers that fit under seats and behind backseats..
