Default rear/side sub mounts?

I'm currently running a 10" in the cargo area and two 8" subs in the doors.
I'm not entirely happy with the sound (the other speakers in the door are 2.5" audiofrogs) and want to add more of a woofer/midrange.
I've bought 6" morel's, and pulling the 8" subs out.

No sense in wasting decent subs, so I'm thinking of getting another amp and putting these in the corners in the back.. I've seen 8" enclosures from vette nuts for like $500 each... are there any side enclosures that are actually reasonably priced?

Good luck, I got mine from elemental designs years ago. I think they were around $500 for the pair. ED had good stuff at good prices, sadly they closed a while back. Maybe a local shop could build some for you.

Looks like you gotta pay to play if you really want to keep them

I'd just do without and get a beefy front stage with a strong sub

I would see if a local audio shop can do it cheaper. It's really nice having the trunk open and usable. Keeping the subs in the corner gives you pretty much full use still. Big box in the center pretty much makes it unusable.

I hear that , I normally wouldn't even bother, just bugs me to toss two perfectly good, practically new subs on the shelf
