I dont really want to crowd up my trunk or my seats I was thinking is it possible to put subs in place of the 2 rear seat speakers.. How big will fit 8", 10" 12"? Anyone done this before? Is it alot of work? thanks

Did you get an enclosure back there? You can get a decent amount of space if you use fiberglass.

u may be able to fit a pair or 8's but thats about it. id try it, maybe ill see if i can com that on the hunk of scrap in my yard. lol.

Creating an enclosure requires a bit work and to make it fit. Second, reinforcing the sound to reduce vibration. Overall in my opinion, having 6.5" in the rears benefit overall sound quality. Look at my profile for how I set up mine, my friends all love the way it sounds between rock and hip hop. Of course tuning plays a big part.

There was someone on CCUK that was talking about building a fiberglass enclosure for that space but I think it fell through...it'd be nice though as I'd like some subs but I like my trunk-space. I still havn't decided if I want back seats or not. Anyone that has done this, do you have any pics? If 8" fit and sound good I may wind up doing that just b/c. Thanks.

the ones i use work for IB setup which dun really need an enclosure... i think.. hah bcuz i don't hv an enclosure

ppl w/ coupes can just install it onto the rear deck. i believe that's what coomer did on his yelli celi

what i mean is a direct replacement of the stock rear seat speeakers to subs.. is that possible or the wiring is different for subs and speakers? and wud 8"ers need an amp still? thanks

yes you would need an amp to run 8"s efficantly and they will not i repet not drop in that factory location, i had to cut to get 6.5's in there, i would say just get a 10 or something and put it in the back, or you can get some tang band 6.5 subs and those would work fine
