More sound!
I was missing some low-end with just the 4" door speakers, but space was limited for a regular subwoofer without sacrificing passenger space.
Thought of getting a slim subwoofer and placing it beneath the seat, but there wasn't enough space. Space behind the seat is filled with necessary tools, air compressor, fluids etc.
The solution was to mount the subwoofer up underneath the glove box. I made a plate in stainless steel, attached the subwoofer to the plate on rubber stands, and the plate to the dashboard with rubber gaskets to eliminate vibration. The reason I used stainless steel is I got my hands on some scrap from my workplace where we use 316L stainless.

Plenty of leg-space left, and the subwoofer is mounted securely.
The subwoofer I got was a generic 150W 8" slim sub with passive radiators for about $120. Pretty happy with it, and it sounds amazing. Jaws drop when people hear what it sounds like as they don't expect much from this type of car.
