Install looks good lucksin. I dont have experience with spare wheel sub but I am a user of underseat sub in my xuv. REview of the same is available at link below.

Been using it for last 6yrs and happy with it. Still sometimes feel the need for more power but doesnt leave the music incomplete.

If bone-shaking loudness is NOT the requirement, you can try the Pioneer TS-WX400DA or Alpine PWE-S800 under-seat powered subwoofers. They are reasonably priced between 17 - 20K. The bass is quite good, enough to vibrate your door panels.
Spare wheel subwoofers are not well priced and cost at least twice the price of under-seat ones. I don't think they offer any added benefit to justify the cost.

unfortunately, it's not feasible to get many brands in one shop to audition before buying, and after hearing JBL underseat, I am kinda scared to buy something eyes closed. I am hoping to audition for Blaupunkt under-seat though. if that sounds the way I am looking for I will take a plunge else I will have to come up with a plan B, which I don't have.

You are right, bone shaking is not my style, I may be able to demo Alpine, later this week. Pricing is not a concern at the moment, saving boot space with good sound is. for years likes of Audi have been putting sub in spare-wheel to somewhat success

Also, I am leaning more toward calibrating EQ with my DSP first. I want to correct the imaging and frequency response. polk are amazing speakers, I want to open up their potential first and RTA is the way to go, I am waiting for my equipment to arrive. I will start a new thread when the hardware arrives.
