This is only an enclosure for a single 12", but you can at least get an idea. I think this is a bad asp setup!

I want to do something simliar with mine since I have stripes like this guy does (this car is not mine obviously). Post some pics when you get it done! Good luck.

That's very similar to my set up. The rear speakers are a must if you want any rear imaging. I have some pics in my gallery.
One very important note. You must not block the vents exiting the trunk! You will blow out your rear glass at high speeds if you open your window. Also if the airbag ever goes off you will blow your ear drums and any window that's closed.

I bought my 2001 GTS with a pretty cool sub-enclosure built into the sides of the trunk:

Achilles,
Do you hear any pulsing in your ears when you are driving with the windows down? It looks like the subs are blocking the vents. If so, I would recommend you not roll down your windows when you are driving at high speeds.

No pulsing with windows down... so, I'm guessing that the air is venting somewhere.
Sometimes, when I want to go really fast, I remove the hatch glass

Thanks for the pic. This was one of the idea's I have exactly!
Are the boxes removable or are the fixed in place?
If they are removable, would it be any trouble taking a pic with them out of the car and getting some dimensions from you.
BTW....tell me more about your system and how does it sound? Awesome no doubt!

I'm not a big stereo guy, so I can't get too specific... I'll tell you what I know about the system (all came with the car).
Factory amp is no longer in. There are two aftermarket amps (one under each seat). One is powering the subs, the other powers the rest of the speakers. All of the speakers are aftermarket, including crossovers built into the door (I found that out the hard way when the door speakers stopped working... had to rip apart all of the panels to figure it out. Crossover came unplugged).
Headunit is a Kenwood MP3 player. I hardwired my IPOD by using an aux cable. System sounds fantastic.
I'm not sure if the sub boxes are easily removeable... if they are, I'll pull them out and snap some shots. If you are REALLY serious about it, I'll try and remove it within reason (ie, if it's screwed, I'll unscrew it... if it's glued, you are out of luck ). Just let me know!

Yes! Thank you. I don't want you to go threw too much trouble, but this is the kinda thing I'm after. Doesn't screw up luggage space, let's you still get to the spare and really doesn't modify the car so if I need to take it back to the original it's simple
