Jetta mk3

[KodyKlepto]

I just picked up a 97 Jetta, and I have a slight problem that I could use you guys' help with. I would like to do another system in this car, BUT, I'm having a baby in two weeks. My girlfriend doesn't have a car, so my Jetta is our family vehicle. Which means building a box that fills the whole trunk isn't really something I can do. So the idea I've come up with, is to put two 8"s or 10"s in the rear deck, with a box underneath them so it just takes up the back of the trunk. I can pull out the rear speakers and port the box through the holes where the speakers currently are. Does this sound like an ok idea? Would it work? Would I be better off going with this idea but just making it a sealed box?

Here's a few pics of what I'm working with: http://imgur.com/a/DKeOB

I wouldn't take out the rear full ranges, I would work around them, maybe use a sealed box, they still sound good, either that to or maybe you can use the slims that would free up some space. at least you could have bass until your girlfriend get another car.

i had the exact same car minus the armrest. sealed 12 with it facing the trunk. if you're not looking to use the whole space. if you're looking for some ideas once you can use the space me and a buddy basically had a plan worked out but, every car is different so take it with a grain of salt. i'd do the single 10 just because you'll need about 1ft^3 sealed and still have a bunch of room. if you do the 2 8s, do ported but through the arm rest slot or just do a normal port box pushed to the back with port firing towards trunk for better "ear" sound. don't take out the rear fill until you use the whole trunk
