I'd build a false boot floor and hide the amps underneath that for starters. Not too sure how you go about hiding the battery though. I'd also remove the strut trimming cover thingys to show off that lovely blue paint and mount the nos bottle in front of the subs.

Hope this gives a bit of inspiration :D

im looking at putting 2 12" vibes into my mk3. had a look on stealthboxz, they fit in the sides and take up hardly any space. still need to find out how they will sound in such small box`s. but leaves you plenty of space to put amps and nos. google them and tell me what you think, bit pricey though.

id love something like that but i couldnt justify paying that sort of money as for size of subs its 1.05 cubic ft and vibe recommend 1-1.5 cubic feet so right size of box just too expensive

think i`m going to order the pair of them and a pair of vibe blackair II+ subs and two vibe monoblock 400w amps, mount the amps on the back of the seats subs at sides and battery in the back corner. getting an autospecialists skirt and top cover to dress the battery up and hide it a bit, might even put a power cap in the middle. what do you think. also saw a pair of front door speaker inclosures from audioscape but there 200 quid wow. can fit up to 17inch components in them.

Slightly off topic but where are you based and what sorta prices would I be looking at for an install? I guess it varies on what I want... But I dunno what I want 'till I know what it costs lol, bit off an awkward one! Maybe you could show me some examples and prices, that may help.

Cheers mate!
