my sound system
anyone know how i can put my 4 subs in my car without taking soo much room in the back hatch part. i really dont want to put one box in the back seat. here is some pictures of the setup i have now.
below is my setup right now

below is where i put my amp

maybe i could just get rid of one box. but idk where i could put the 2 subs at. if anyone could give me tips or ideas of places i could put them i would be happy.

Re: my sound system
well i have 2 10" in a car box and 2 12" in a truck box. would it be a good idea to take out the ledges in the rear next to my amp picture? would it take anything important out? maybe i could take those ledges out and put my amp somewhere else where it gets more air and make a custom box for the back that hold the 2 12" in the middle of the rear and let them down a little bit and extend the side of the interior into the rear quarter panels and make the 2 10" be on a angle on each side. do you think that would work? also if i do that or make my own box should all 4 subs be ported or no?
also do you think i should get another amp to run 2 subs and plus my amp running my 2 others? i have 2 10" sony xplod 1100 watt each, and 2 12" sony xplod 1200 watt each. all 4 are running on a 1000 watt sony xplod amp on 2 channels.

Re: my sound system
i built a custom box that fits in the back of the trunk and have an amp rack built on the sub box so the amp sits in the midle of the car and 2 10 inch subs sits on each side

Re: my sound system

Re: my sound system
update.
since i have no rear speakers, i'd thought i'd get some. since they were hacked out of the car. as seen below↓

i am putting in these. on both sides. the front already have pioneer's in them.

also my subs haven't been working because of my wiring under the hood. the part that goes into the fuse was bouncing around too much and doesn't make a good connection. so i figured i'd buy a new wire and a capacitor to go with it, because i need one, cause after awhile my amp drains my battery down to nothing.

well now i have 4 power wires, along with the other stuff the power wires come with. guess its added to my collection.
oh and my sub well box is going good. just haven't had time to work on it. have it all drawn out, just need to cut it out and fab another piece on it for my 2 10's and my capacitor.

update. 7/3/11
i finally got the time to start the my sub well box for my car. here is some pictures.








still have to do work to my store bought 10" sub box. gonna cut it down so it don't sit up soo high. also going to buy carpet for the top of the sub well box.
should i make a new box for my 10's instead of cutting up a perfectly good car box?
