HEHEH No, it's not mine.. I just tried to help you out, give you some ideas. I've been on this forum since early 2004, and have seen it all on this site. So, when you mentioned your idea, i remembered that system set-up that you are looking to do.. But, here is the link for that system set-up: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-interior-audio-electronics-24/pics-rx8-install-promised-30540/

subs in compartment between rear seats..

I've come across the picture a few months back of a guy that put 2 6.5 inch JL Audio woofers in that same area. It looked really good. I went to the top installer in town and showed him the picture and asked for a price quote. Anything you put in there will be too heavy for the plastic to hold. They were going to have to fabricate a piece using poly and wood- cost.... with the two woofers was close to $1000 out the door. Needless to say, I didn't go that route for that price.

Oh, it can so be done and quite painlessly with only jigsaw, I have a comp set of 5.25 with tweets in the centre pass through and it fits absolutely perfect and sounds great. I just haven't got around to post the pics. I will post them this weekend when I get home.

Not to resurect an old thread, but was there a final decision on wether or not mounting (2) 5" - 6.5" woofers will require more "stiffening" of the rear compartment cover? I was thinking of putting some smallish "free air" woofers there.

What is the interest?

If a custom enclosure was built for 2 6"subs or 1 8" sub. What would be a fair price. I could take a mold off the cover and build an an enclosure that would "pop" into place. If I can build enough of them, it could be reasonably priced as well.

Let me know if you guys have interest.

well, i had never done this set up...but i still plan to do it eventually. It would most definitely need stiffening, the vibrations of the bass would weaken the center piece greatly. It would probably be best to put a lot of fiberglass on it.

I'd be interested as well...although I would want to see sketches/pics first.

Those would be nice ... would like to know how large the enclosure would be or if it would be an IB setup.

Enclosure Compatibility for the 6W3v3-4ohm

The sealed box size recommended by JL Audio is 0.15 cu/ft. A diagram is provided in the owner's manual for a sealed box with external dimensions of 9" W x 9" H x 6.75" D, assuming 3/4" thick material. (If you are using 5/8" thick materials, you should subtract 1/4" from each dimension.)

This is per speaker, so we would need someone to build a custom box that would mate to the pass through cover.
