So, if I am using an enclosure, should I use a sealed one? Or a ported one? For sound quality.

Aight, in that case, I may use the hatch cover to mount some 6x9s. The Civic DX did not come with rear speaker mounts. And Honda no longer sells replacement parts. So chances are, I would have to look around for used stuff.. and prolly not find anything.

So... no one has said otherwise, so I would assume the answer to my questions above is put the subs in an enclosure, not in the hatch cover?

I am a complete noob at car audio, so I might be posting here a lot in the future. I have a couple questions I am hoping I can get info on. I recently bought my first car. I bought a 94 Honda Civic DX hatchback. Before I bought the car, I had thought that, when I had the money, I would get 2 Kicker 12" CompVR 2 ohms in an enclosure straight from Kicker, and a Hifonics Brutus BRZ2400.1D amp. But as time has gone on, more ideas have come to me. So, my questions are thus: 1.) The 94 Honda Civic DX Hatchback came stock with a rear cargo cover. When I bought the car, it did not have a cargo cover. I could make one myself. Would the subs sound better in an open, or closed hatch? 2.) If an open hatch would sound better, would it be possible to make a DIY cargo hatch cover, and cut holes in it, and mount the speakers in it? 3.) What kind of sub configuration would be best for my car? I have a very eclectic listening selection, from metal to sticky sweet, rot your teeth out bubblegum jpop. Though my genre of choice is prog rock/metal/rock. If I were to go with the cargo hatch cover above as the speaker mount, I would physically have space for up to 3 12" subs, or 2 15" subs. But... I honestly have no idea how any of these configurations would sound. So, I need the help of the people who know. What kind of setup should I look into? 1 12? 2? 3? 1 15? 2? Or perhaps some 10s? Please give your opinions. And if possible, could you suggest specific sub models (manufacturer/model). I LOVE music. I love LOUD music. But I am willing to compromise volume for sound quality. I want it to be loud, but I want it to sound good. And please no $500 speakers. I am by no means some elitist audiophile (im not saying all audiophiles are elitist). I want good quality on a budget. If it would be best NOT to mount the speakers in the cargo hatch cover, the same question applies, but my cargo hatch can prolly only physically hold 2 12s, or MAYBE 2 15s (if they are mounted at an angle). My hatch is... ~45"x19" at the top, where the cargo hatch cover is. It is only about 36" wide at the base, due to the wheel wells. So, please help me out!
