My doors have been cut for 6.5's. I'm wondering about using the stock location with these mounts for some 6" subs, 1 one each side (I know, I know, you only need one, but I like symetry). Any comments?

I really wouldn't expect wonderful sound from subs mounted in these housings. With the amount of action from a subwoofer (long throw) you're going to get those housing flexing all over the place. I'm not even sure you can fit a 6" sub into the space behind the pod. I bet they're too long. It would make some noise, but it definitely wouldn't be anywhere near where it could be. I would put the subs in the doors before I put them in the pods.

i don't like the doors, cause it'll make all that 30 year old shit inside rattle. And that'll really drive me nuts!

For a small extra fee i can increase the thickness or add a bidirectional to the pods to make the very ridgid .

Also the first molds we intended for only 30 parts they where pretty rough.
I ended up making allmost 75 parts off those molds .I have smoothed the new molds out so that a light sanding is all they need, so that the quality of the parts after 12/9 will be improved (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

If you don't need the glovebox, that can be replaced with a really big sub aiming into the floor.

You could remove the steering wheel, and cut one in on the driver's side.

Ok guys this is how I handled it. They fill the cabin with plenty of sound, there not going to beat out the guy with a trunk full of subs vibrating house windows all the way down the street, but they sound plenty good to me. Besides with that 3.0 winding up behind me forget about audio file sound. The nice part about the subs is there not in the way and by putting them into the backpad behind the seats you can easly fit 12"ers. Stainless steel mixing bowels are the enclosures and the subs do thump.thump thump thump, thump, thump thump, thump thump thump.........

pics follow

Looks good. The mixing bowls must be pushing the backpad out some eh?

Nevermind. I replied right after I saw only the first pic.

Mine don't rattle. The speakers that were in there buzz'd at high volume so some 4" Blaupunkt's took their place.
I just need more power to make all the speakers sound goood w/o distorsion......
