Rear Speakers

What is the maximum size speakers I could fit on the rear deck of my 325es?

I'm available to actually taking the deck off and custom cutting it up to mount some (i guess they would be) stealthboxes with maybe 8" or 10" subs and then build the enclosure into the trunk.

Will this reproduce some good sound? Would this be similar to using the spare tire bay (in the truck) as a sealer enclosure (as i've seen some people do)? I'm looking for the car to help work as a sort of resonator to get some good QUALITY bass feeling, but not so "boomy" if I were playing gangsta' rap.

What do you think?

It all depends onWhich subs but when you are thining about running 8's or 10's inside your car remember the you need highs not just bass or you own't hear your music. You can put anything up there that will fit if you are gonna custom cut it just measure it out and figure out which way and what size you want but if you are gonna run subs in the trunk I strongly recomend against putting 8's or 10's in the rear deck unless you are gonna add componets to the inside somwhere else. You can't lose your highs and mids or you system will sound like ass. Hope that helps

my only other upgrades (aside from amps and such) were going to be a front set ( mid 4"-6" + tweeter in the 'A' of the door ). I thought about adding a 6" in the rear seat pannels but not sure what this involves exactly...still thinking.

My main concern is making the bass really resonate with the car itself. Guy out in DC i know has a Dodge Stealth with the rear spare tire space as an enclosure for 3x10" subs. great resonation that makes the car act as one large sub-woofer. Sounded great on his car.

I'm just kind of unsure of just a box in my trunk. I like the fact that I could take it out if I needed the space for other stuff...but I like the fact that a more perminant solution might sound better.

I personally don't like too much rear fill, so I would just get some subs for the boot and a decent set of components for the front.

It will stil sound great

ok jsut pull the rears and put subs in the trunk and like evo said have a good set of components and your set, i dont have any rear in my car and the holes act as ports for the trunk works quite nicely, i wouldent cut the rear deck though
