Looking good mate, but IMO and many other if you are after a decent sound then ditch the 6*9's they are more show than go, they're for people who believe in the ways of the max flower .
But if your going for purely looks then thats cool

1st, re-size the dam pics! Then, as above, 6*9s aint that good. Also, if your gona put edges on the box type things youve made to enclose them, i think theyr way too small and wont sound right. I'll have a better look when you make the pics smaller so i can actualy see the whole thing!
Just because I keep talking about definetly doing it doesn't mean I'm actualy going to do it.

why do people put speakers in the bloody boots under the shelf line
omg its starting to get on my nerves!!! for gods sake, its such a waste of money, the money you spent there could have gone towards a better set of speakers for the front, not cheap mutant audio.
I know your young and impressionable but what your installing is purely for boot open show off, and it'll sound pants. Why not ditch them and put another sub in and a nice amp rack.
sorry temper tantrum over, but its just seems like a waste of money to me.

no point in having 2 subs at all. It looks better than just a sub and an amp. i have been told many times about them not bein any good in the boot. 6*9's aint good anywhere. im buying better front speakers. They are there to make the build look better. 2 subs is a waste. 6*9's are piss poor speakers anyway.
The subs there for bass the 6*9's are there to make better to look at front components mayb just uprated front speakers will be bought soon.

llama @ 2 subs being a waste...what are you on about
Have you never seen a wall before?
4 or more 18'' subs pounding away (or any other number of subs)
If you want more bass then you gona need eventually more subs i.e. more cone area(and xmax) and thus more air movement therefor more bass
You said you wanted to learn then read up on these things and you will

Erm not really... you didn't say 'IMO' you said 'at all'.
Some people choose to have two subs of different sizes to pickup different ranges and play frequencies better e.g. a 10inch for more trancy stuff or 12/15 for hiphopy stuff... There is point in having 2 subs even just to increase the bass sound and quality.
Either way IMO I think 2 would be a waste of boot space!

i did'nt have to say imo, i ment there is no point at all in me having 2 subs it wasnt my opinion it was my posisition what i needed wanted have etc. Oh and for the "genoius statement" why even say anything when really there was just no need for it at all. You could have told me why its good to have 2 subs which would help me learn instead you make some sort of stupid smart arsed comment just no need tbh.

Dont let the jibes get to you dude, its all a learning curve, some people offer good advice, some dont, take it on the chin.
As for the system, in all honesty, although the 6"x9"s will make it look more interesting, it will be a total waste to put them in there, especially ina position like that. You really want to be looking more towards some decent front component speakers, door build mounted and nice and secure. Then stick with one sub in the boot, 10" for all round performance.
Then if you really want, you can upgrade in the future and stick some components in the rear quarters to give a more central sound with the rear fill going on, and there's always room to improve in the boot if you find one sub doesnt cut it for you.
