slappin , as a previous owner of 3 different 3rd gens i'm gonna tell you now , you will be better off putting your midbass in pods somewhere in the front. either doors or kick panels. The location in the rear side panels is terrible for any type of bass. Maybe a pair of 8's in door pods , a pair of crscendos in the dash and a pair in kick panels?? It doesnt hurt to try it out for yourself but i have never got anything to sound off in those 6x9 holes.

So what do you think I should put there instead where the 6x9's are?

Maybe a plate with a pair of the crescendos in there for fill for the backseat passengers. Then take the other pair and put'em in kicks or dash. Its fairly easy to make 6.5's fit in the dash because the 4x6 mounts unbolt from the dash once you get the dash pad off. But def run the 8's in pods on the doors or in the kick.

The Sundowns were built to be midbasses, not midranges. They're based on pro drivers but were tweaked for the car to work optimally in and IB config and to provide good midbass. Gave up a bit of efficiency to make this happen.

If you run a 8 inch midbass up front, then you can run 4 inch in your dash instead of a 6.5.
