How much clearance is under the drivers seat (the car isn't here right now to measure), and is there any problem in removing an airbag seat in order to mount it?
I was looking at the basslink, but went with a woox in part because I didn't think the basslink would fit under the driver's seat. Take carefull measurements before committing to this ... and test fit as you do the install.

As for seat removal (presuming you have the optional Side Impact airbags, which are located in the seats):

Just like in the manual for working anywhere near Any Airbag component:

Step 1: Disconnnect Battery.

Step 2: Make sure the battery is disconnected.

When removing the seat =Carefully= disconnect the wiring connector (examine it and figure out the locking tabs to unlock the connection Don't Force It!)

Don't mess with the airbag wires. Don't connect them to ANYTHING until you are reinstalling the seat and you reconnect them to the car wiring harness. Any voltage, even the trickle a circuit tester or ohmmeter would apply, may trigger the airbag.

Installation is the reverse. Be sure the connection locks.

Make sure no one is in the car when you reconnect the battery (just in case).
