[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8727904, member: 614752"] You will never get anything close to good sound without good locations for your fronts. Is there any chance you can fabricate some sort of kickpanel location enclosure for them? Size of enclosure for 6.5" driver can be very small and still work fine for midrange duty. Just so long as the rear is sealed off. Kickpanel mounting for mids and highs should give excellent results if you can fit in that location aiming the speakers at the dome light. For sub JL is fine and even Alpine type R is a solid performer and should be easy to find anywhere in the world. We could suggest several boutique brands but anything outside the mainstream may be difficult for you to find in Europe. Most modern subwoofers will perform best in ported alignment but if your calculations or construction of the box are wrong it will be a disaster. Sealed box is very forgiving if you are off by even a large margin in volume from "optimum". Typically larger boxes will play lower and be more efficient though there is a point of diminishing returns where you will get little benefit from going larger and it may be that you don't even need the extra output in those frequencies to enjoy good music listening. The ONLY way to really decide is to test for yourself.... when it sounds good, it is good. [/QUOTE]
