Dude,

I was told that the sub is a piston that moves air and give a bass like feel.

I have a convertible and am also interested with replacing sub. Sound Advice suggested that I put a sub (10") at the floor panel of the passenger side. The issue I have is (A) I will loose about 5 inches of foot space for passenger confort. (B) Used to having sub(s) in the back of car.

Hmmm - that is news to me - but it would not surprise me either. I would have even considered putting one in the trunk but it is not going to sound all that great with the top down - I would like to see what the HK box looks like once it is opened. I guess you could also have a small custom box built for between the seats in the rear - not like I ever put anyone back there.

I thought that on the 209 clk55 the sub-woofer was the large speaker in the rear parcel shelf. Is there another subwoofer in-between the front seats somewhere inside the armrest unit because the parts diagram would seem to indicate that there is.

In the vert - there is a built in enclosure between the rear seats - on the floor - sort or under the fold down armrest

Have any of you looked into Rues Audio? I just saw them at the International Auto Show in LA and their systems sounded awesome.
