We are adding a sub-woofer enclosure behind the rear seat. When you ask a 15 year old if he would rather have storage space or good bass, guess what the answer is? We decided to stick with a 10" Polk MM1 series mostly because everything else is Polk and it is marine rated.

Since we have no spare and we just added ~100lbs to the front bumper with the winch, we currently have a fair amount of rake with no hard top, so the idea of adding weight via the sub enclosure seemed like an ok thing to do.
A bunch of research into sub-woofer enclosures... some say that it sound terrible due to steel being to "lively" a material, some say it will be fine if we add some damping material internal to the steel enclosure walls.
Either way, we are going to try it and see what happens, since I can get 1/4" steel plate cut to size free from work and it will be fun to build.
Why everyone should have a plasma cutter:
Sub will be down firing and the stepped area next to it will have the amp mounted to it. The plan is to have all the wires connectorized so that it can be easily removed.
Tacked together with the Mig, we will get the Tig torch out to fuse all the seams. This will probably weigh ~100lbs once populated.
