How are you planning to mount a single 10" in free air config? I'm just curious, also like to hear if someone has thought of something really creative.

Though the 10" will net you a little deeper hz, I would suggest two 8" for the practical mounting aspect if you wanted to tuck them under the rear shelf in place of the 6x9 openings. You'll need a tight adapter seal and good matting on the top and bottom of that noisy shelf. Some fresh felt tape between the interior body panels will help as well. Just remember that when you run IB with subs, you only want to give them 50% of their max RMS to avoid premature wear. A speaker also needs to approved by the manufacturer for free air, as such a deployment is harder on the surrounds and needs more back plate clearance.

Free air doesn't hit as hard as an enclosed sub, but it sure is nice to not give up space for moderate bass.
