Unanswered: Best speaker locations?

I was thinking about putting a box from Best Buy on that back panel, holding two 12" subs. Then either 2 6x9's on the panel below the rear window or beside the subs by replacing the leather cover with plywood and carpet. Also in the from, i'll prolbably be putting some like 3's or something, in place of the vents. How are there idea's? Anyone else got any different ones?

speakers

i put my speakers in the back dash broad under the rear window. my are 5x7.
and with the subs i plan on putting two 10s in the spare tire cover. with two custom made enclosures. one for each sub. i plan on cutting slots in the little wood thing that hold the tire. and then i will be useing the tire cover for the face of the box. and i will cut two 10 inch holes in the tire cover to put the subs in. this way i have enough room to put my spare tire in. i hope you can understand what im trying to say because its hard to writ about this stuff.

2 10's would probly do better. you will not have the room for the air volume needed for a set of 12's. also a place to put the 6x9's is under the pop out windows. i have som there and it looks cool. to put subs in the rear package tray area you will need to cut the brace out too.

the only prefabbed sub box that i've found to fit in the spare tire area is a "truck" style box, where the box is short and wide...

as for the front speakers, the best sounding solution would most likely be to make a set of kick pods... but that would require a bit of fiberglass work, as well as take up what little space we have down there... i have a set of tweeters in my doors, complete with a megaphone of sorts on the top of it... looks alot like a horn compression driver would... adds a nice touch to the high end, allows the sound to seem like it's coming from all around instead of from just behind me...
