There is plenty of room behind the seats and engine compartment, you could easily go with 10" Subs,
I went with sealed enclosure 8" Quart Subs.
The enclosures i used are Stainless steel mixing bowls. no interference with
anything even with a big turbo flat six.

I have one amp under the dash under the head unit and the other amp in the center gauge console, the head unit drives the 5 1/4 door speakers, the two amps drive the 6 1/2 kick panels and the Subs. I agree not for everyone, but my cars not for everyone either. I'm happy with the way the Turbo engine sounds and the stereo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

This is the option I will use when I get there, you can only put in a small sub but you don't need a big one on such a small compartment. It is from 914 Appearance and Performance.

As soon as I square up on a couple other things, I'll be ordering this very kit.

Not sure where i originally found these pictures but I have them saved in the "ideas for my car file". I like the idea of it being hidden also. Just my two cents.

I also have a wire diagram to go with this to show different speaker set ups but I can't get it to load up.

With the custom cover I can put groceries on top with no worries and there is enough room around the sub box underneath to keep tools, jack, etc.

I think it depends on whether you want a nice sounding stereo or if your goal is to annoy everyone within 30 yards of your car in stopped traffic.

I plan on putting an 8 or 10 in the passenger foot rest.

My backup plan is eight 12s in the front and rear trunks, powered by crappy amps for as much distortion as possible. I would also loosen a few bolts here and there to make sure that the car rattles like a can full of marbles. You would be surprised how cool you appear to others when sporting such a "system"...
