Hidden sub enclosure for Tacoma extended cab

I've been trying to work out a design for an adequate enclosure for a 10" sub in my '98 Tacoma extended cab. The design requirements are:
* sealed enclosure
* ~0.5 ft^3
* does not interfere with operation (full recline for naps) of front seats or use of back seats, including child's car seat installation.

I didn't want to give up the storage under the back seats, but have decided to drop that requirement in favor of the three above.

I'm increasingly inclined to build an enclosure that will replace the factory box that serves as the support for the rear seats. I'd put a single 10" on one side and a storage cabinet on the other.

Has anyone done something like this?

BTW: I have no mobile audio experience and have never built a speaker enclosure, but I'm generally good at building things.

Thanks

That's just what I've been looking for, only the volume they're getting is too small for a 10". I might do well to go that route, however. I'm sure an 8" would still make a big difference in my system and I really like how easily removable those boxes are.
