Default Possible Bass Solution for S2K?

This was posted about on miataforum.com and I thought it might apply here as well. There is a new subwoofer that is going to be released soon that may be a solution for the lack of space for a nice stereo in smaller cars. It is a 6.5" subwoofer that has a LOT of excursion and a lot of extension for its size. It only needs .25 ft/3 of space, I thought it might be another option for S2K owners for a footwell install etc. The website doesn't link very well so go to http://www.mpyreaudio.com and click on products then 65X. Tell me what you guys think!

I guess 14mm is a lot for a sub it's size, but it still isn't a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. The Adire Shiva (SQ sub) has ~14mm of excursion. The Brahma (SPL sub) has ~28mm. A 6.5 woofer with 14mm excursion won't be nearly as loud as a 10" sub with 14mm excursion. It may be a nice product, but I don't think it will have that much output.

Its not really supposed to dominate over the other subwoofers, just offer a solution to having hi-fi sound in a small place. I don't think it will win an DBdrag competitions (which would be silly in an S2K anyways), its just for some good bump for personal listening.
