is there possible enough room for a council mounted woofer probably have to be an 8 or 10 inch woofer, but if there is enough room between the dash and the floor and the dash and the front of the seat there is no reason that a sub couldnt be placed there... never said a sub had to be placed behind you, most home sytems have woofers up front, just my input tho good luck

you can do bucket seats and a sub in the consol.
I fit a 10" in my single cab ranger, but I needed a shoe horn to install it.

I fit 2 10's in my single cab toyota pickup (1984)} in a wedge box. Had to push the seat 4ward and sacrafice leg room, but I did it. Id say go for a shallow 8 or 10" woofer and do a wedge box, or go for the center consol idea

Toyo's are notorious for lack of space behind the seat. The best that I have seen was a prefab plastic type molded enclosure with a single 8" included sold at Cruthcfield some time back. If you can afford to lose the leg room, then you might can fit a sub or two back there. As far as shallow mount woofers go, a decent one with a good price will be hard to find, for it will be of the specialty type. Something like those that have the magnet mounted in the voice coil. Pioneer has also come out with a 12" shallow mount sub as well, though xmax on a sub of such nature might be in question.

The problem on this woofer is though it is shallow, the required airspace (.6-1.0 cft) does not compliment the sub much when space is very tight like the Toyo. If you settle for a single 8" you could easily fit one into as small as .25-.33 cft. Output in such a small cab would still be decent.
Illusion Audio is another company that specializes in shallow mount subs including a 10" with a mounting depth of 2.8". Very pricy as well.

Kole Audio make a shallow woofer design that fits in a 1.0 cf box and can get down to 35 Hz. The FBX-10 and FBX-12 are possible options as well:

The main problem I belive that you will encounter, no matter what brand you choose (shallow or not), will be enclsoure depth. I am approximately 6' 1", so I had to have the bench seat in my Mazda B2000 as far back as poosible to be comfortable. Once I added two 8" subs, I lost about a notch or two in leg room. The box itself was rectangle instead of wedge or else the woofers wouldn't fit. The sacrifice wasn't bad at all since the truck had a considerable amount of room with the angle of the seat. Sub performance was very good and performed better than most single 10" small box setups.
That will be another main concern. If using a larger sub, will it have enough airspace to play smoothly or will it be a high box Q with a nasty hump in response? If ported, well that can be even worse.
All must be taken into account before taking the plunge. Speaker basket depth, leg room, available airspace minus wood, and at what frequency output. What good is it to "squeeze" it in there if it's not going to perform?
