Single 10, single 12, or even a single 15. It will be cheaper, take up less room... and if you get the right products and install it well, it will have all the output you'll ever want. First and foremost, give us a budget before we can start giving any serious advice.Second, you dont want to hear this, but ditch the tape deck. Compact disk and newer technology has a much wider frequency range than do those old tapes. It would be a shame to have a sweet new sub setup, but choke off its potential by providing an inferior signal to it. And, nobody has made tapes for years now right? How long can you expect your tape collection to last?Third, placing those 6x9's in small sealed enclosures will kill their bass output. They are designed to run infinite baffle (no box, just a baffle wall to seperate front and rear sound waves) so when you put them in small sealed boxes, cone excursion is drastically reduced. Since the lowest octaves take the most air movement to reproduce at a given SPL level, lowering cone excursion will only serve to diminish bass output.Remove the rear speakers from your system entirely. I wont get into the whole is rear fill necessary debate here, all that needs to be mentioned is that with your rear seat folded down, front and rear sound wave separation no longer exists, and erratic freq response and output would be the result. Dont want to put them in small boxes, and dont want to run them with the seat down, might as well remove them so you can leave the seat folded up and still get your bass through those 6x9 holes.</blockquote>
