Hiding Small Subs

I have a 10 inch sub in my trunk, but now I have the entire interior of my car apart. I changed the 4x6's and am changing the 6.5s in the rear (Convertible) but now I want to ad to 5" subs in the vehicle some where.


Any ideas where to hide them and how to wire them in?

I figure im not the first guy with this idea, so would like some input from someone thats done it...

Thanks

5 inch subs? Don't waste your time. Especially in a vert.

Re: Hiding Small Subs

honestly, you'd be better off keeping that 10. In an open air environment, you aren't going to get any cabin gain. Look into some tactile transducers "bass shakers". They can mount to the seats and provide the illusion of big bass. I used to install these all the time in my old shop and always had great results.
