Been there, done that on the attempt at the 8" Pioneer shallow mount under the seat. Used 1/2" MDF to try to maximize cubic ft while minimizing the footprint and depth of the enclosure in hopes of putting it under the passenger seat. No way that will work, unless you go with a custom-formed fiberglass enclosure. Even fiberglassed, it absolutely won't work if you want to add the clearance required for downfiring. I even tried removing the floor vents under the carpet to gain more mounting depth...still didn't fit. The 8" requires a minimum 0.15 cf. My enclosure was 0.19 cf, and still too big for underseat. See attached photo.
However, you could make use of the benefits of this shallow sub if you wanted to build an enclosure for behind the rear seat. In that application, this speaker would be a very good fit, and you could build your box to the "optimum" size of 0.4 cf (size range is 0.15-0.5cf). I bought mine for I think $90 shipped new off eBay. Will sell it barely used for $60 + shipping if you are interested. Model # is TS-SW841D.
