you build a box, by assembling at least 6 sides together, from mdf preferably, i generally, like to use fiberglass resin on the inside to seal the box, if you are unable to get the shape you want, then you can use a fiberglass mat/resin mix, to mold any shape youd like.
no, we have NEVER seen 3 tens in the back of a thirdgen.
do a search, btw,

you probably couldnt stick 3 10's w7 in the trunk of a thirdgen without loosin alot of air space...best bet for those are make a box on your back seat....cause you dont wanna under air space them cause then you will loose full capability of the subs..you could even blow one

You could put 3 10's back there....just not THOSE 10's. It is possible I guess, but with the depth of those subs and the required air space to run them, i think it would be more efficient to run 1 or 2 of them IMO.

You could run however many you want with in reason. It's just the fact that JL is using a 3 ohm voice coil. Which means you got to becareful how you get your power (usually there mostly even number ohms). That's why they try pushing their JL 500/1 amp.

you can run them in 1 cube per driver with no problems. recommend 1.25, so you have a 3.75 cube box. Glassing the rear hatchwell is all of that and more. With creativity, it would work.
The W6's need 0.75 each optimally (from plenty of experience). No problem with that either....
as for the "ohms" thing. the 10W6 is a dual 6 ohm voice coil. Each driver is then (by math) either 12 ohms or 3 ohms each. Running a trio of 12 ohm loads in parallel = 4 ohm mono (ideal load for bridged class a/b amplifiers). running a trio of 3 ohm loads in parallel = 1 ohm mono (ideal for class d monoblocks).

well u would need alot of air space for 3 w7s like if you made the box in the hatch hole and even going up onto the rear hump it would work...cause you can barely run 3 12s in the back of a thirdgen with good air space

sorry about the mistake
Hey I just read all the posts...and when my friend posted the first time he said they were 10w7's.......They ARE 10w6's.
I am getting alot of conflicting info.....most people are saying that 3 ...10w6's will sound like crap in the back of a camaro....Unfortunately I want to use what I have in concerns to speakers.....I just want to make sure they have enough air space....I don't want to damage them.....
Thanks again for all the advise

Keep those drivers in a sealed box (no matter what the specs say, they suck in a vented enlcosure) Give em about 0.75 each and provide 250 watts per driver and u'll be VERY happy, I promise.

Ditto to what Bmoney said. I have 3 10w6's in my hatch well facing upwards. And as far as asound quality goes...I competed ithe 1997 IASCA world finals with those subs. In fact I still have them back there and they can still hit hard and are extremely tight.

lol...
take away. it was a project that was conjurged and finished in two days. $300 in materials i can't complain however there's always better ways to do things.
with the airride/nitrous in the rear putting subs back there doesn't work so something had to be done. sounded great but looks wise it could improve and it will.

Im running 2 JL W6 eights in parallel (1.5 ohms I think). Kenwood amp keeps nice and cool, and it sounds badass.
I used to have 3 of them in my truck (ran parallel, 1 ohm) and it sounded good as well. The acoustics of a thirdgen must be badass.
I now have 2 polk tens in my truck. When the bass hits it sounds like it's farting. I hate polk.
