I had a 10 inch sub in a small bandpass enclosure and two 6X9 in small boxes and it rocked. Good things is I could take the sub out if I thought there was any chance I might need the room and still rock pretty good plus I had 6 foot of speaker wire connected to the 6X9 so I could pull em out and rock outside the car. Only problem is I can't get ride of the radio interference so I put the sub and amp in the Highrider.

I don't know if it will help but if you go to my website in my sig you can see my setup. I installed two amps, a graphic EQ, 12 disc CD changer and a subwoofer under the back deck. I run 4 4x6 Blaupunct speakers in the front and it sounds pretty good.

You can buy these style truck speakers pretty cheap. I can still fit the t-tops in there and they will come out by just disconnecting the wires.

There is a multitude of choices out there. You can take the easy way out and just buy some boxes or build your own. I like the build your own approach.

The problem with mine is that my 6x9 are in two seperate boxes. WHen i drive around it slides around. Plus it looks cheap.

Yea, think your right about looking cheap, but lucky I cant see mine. Think I would have to go the built in custom route, looks nice.
