Sub Location

I just did some rough calculations with my measurements and you're looking at about 1.18 cubic feet of space in that hole not including the space a sub would occupy. If you went with the subs Sigur spoke of they would each occupy .03 cubic feet of space in the box. That puts you at 1.12 cubic feet of usable space. Each sub requires at least .18 cubic feet in a sealed enclosure which is pretty darn good.

In other words you could theoretically place two 6w3v3's in this area and it could work properly, but how much bass are you really gaining?

I haven't actually heard the 6w3v3's so I can't comment on how good they would sound. I think its pretty safe to say it would be a hell of a lot better than nothing or the factory bose though. They just seemed like the best option for that space when I was brainstorming ideas. They would fit flush with plenty of space fore the required volume of box like you say. There would be plenty of room left on either side for a smallish amp. I still haven't decided what I want to do. I don't like the look of the zenclosure box sitting back there. I'm sure it sounds great, but it just looks a little tacky like something I would of had in highschool. The JL stealthbox looks a lot nicer to me appearance wise, but its not really stealth.
