Rear speakers, could you put small subs..... Options

[Symbiote5S-FE]

Has anybody tried to put 8" subs where the rear speakers are at in a hatchback and if someone has tried it how does it sound like? is it a good sound, an excelent sound, or im better off with the subs in a box. or what other mods could i do to for the sound system? Please help

I want to double check on the stock speaker sizes. I have the 8 speaker package and from what I can see, it's 6 1/2" in the rear, 8" front bottom, 4" front mid and 3/4" tweet front top?

I was a bit disappointed when I gutted my old car and found that none of my speakers from it will fit in this. My 6x9's are a no go, my 5 1/4 components will require making brackets, the 1 1/4" tweets are too big, my sub box is too wide and thick.

Looks like I get to play around in the coming weeks.

As for the too much bass comment? To each their own. I'm an audiophile and i want my car to sound good with full, rich sounds. I've already been through 8 subs and about 7 amps and many thousands of dollars just to get my car to sound great and I intend to keep doing it. If your car rattles that much, you didn't spend the time on your install that you should have. There's a ton of products for sound deadening a car. it just takes time.

Some people want speed, some looks and some sound.

i wouldn't call myself an audiophile.. but i still like it when my music comes out sounding gd... i guess my comment about too much bass was that to me, it seemed to be balanced really gd. and it wasn't overpowering or anything. i can turn up the volume and it would hit nice and hard but it doesn't rattle like hell (like the majority of cars in toronto with huge and high powered subs where you can't hear anything else)

i like my system and i think it sounds great... but well.. this is my first system so i have nothing to compare it to other than stock...

i didn't have thousands of dollars to spend on testing different car audio equipment and wanted to do it once w/o regretting what i bought so i just read up on a few forums about what to get and that's how i decided

i think coomer has an 8" sub in his couope too.. i can't remember if he replaced his rear speakers with it tho...
