There are two cubbies, one is the netted style on the right hand side like all the older styles had, which you don't have if you have the subwoofer audio system. The 3rd seat and rear air are packaged options, you have to get one if you get the other. I don't think any 3rd seat/rear a/c explorer has the cubbie hole. There is also alot more underfloor storage without the 3rd seat option.
