Audio upgrades for SLK - Enough Space?

I know this may sound blasphemous, but is there enough space in the trunk to put a small subwoofer? I'm a big fan of trance/rave music, and though factory sound system is good, I have few things I'd like to put in place of it.

Has anyone done something like this here? or do you guys think it's even possible?

btw I haven't gotten a chance to dig around SLK trunk yet, how big is the spare or is there even one? (I assume there is as I've heard nothing about "run-flat" tires being standard). I hope to get my SLK later in Apr or May, but making plans to work on it right now.... what can I say, it is an illness..... (already got tons of print outs on pulleys, suspention stuff, appearence ect. and have Alpine CDA-7897 installed currently in C230 I'm driving, got 2 subs sitting in my garage, but now that I decided not to buy the C230, they will have to go, I know I can't fit 2 12s in there with all the amps and stuff....)

btw, is has been by far the best resource on the net! Thank you guys!

The trunk isn't quiet as small as you might think. If you would put a sub in an enclosure on the lowest part of the floor facing up, I don't think that would be a problem. I have seen some pretty slim boxes and subs for small areas. With the top up, the trunk is actually quite large, and even down I can fit several small suitcases.

great, thnx for the info.

I was planning on the 10 inch Alpine Type-R, the only thing is the power needed to run them has to come from fairly large amp, but atleast now I know that I can get ppl to start designing the box for me.

thnx again.
