I have an 05' Moomba XLV. All the XLV's come with this cubby meant for a cooler. But since there is one built into the floor. We never used it.
So here is my thought. Make a mold of the area and design a custom subwoofer box like the JL stealth boxes. Covered in carpet. It would look completely factory. My going down firing the woofer itself wouldn't be exposed.
I think the area is about 16h x 18d x 24w
Yes? No?

| yes it's been done, but I haven't seen it on an XLV. There was a guy making boxes for a nautique that are almost identical. |

Great idea. Carpet matched, it would be killer.
Great place for it also.

Thats a big space (+3.0ft^2) if your measurements are correct. You could easily run a a pair of 12's there.
Make sure the box has a good coat of resin to waterproof it and it should last a long time. If you want to go even further, you can have it sprayed with bedliner. Most subs (automotive) use a poly or aluminum cone.... a little water won't hurt it as long as its sealed in a box.

just to be safe coat the box in a fiberglass resin and then put the carpet on. The fiberglass resin will make the box waterproof.
