I am about to load up 4 6" subs in the rear deck. This will allow to still use my back seats for the kids and still turn the tunes up for cruising.

I will post pics as the build happens.

I have the built in Bose subs also, sounds really good! I think it sounds better than my 08 Acura TL with the full ELS system.

I went with a single 10 in my 996s and like it. The fiberglass box doesnt stand out too much.

...except for the fact that it takes the place of one of the back seats....

Yes, but I never use them and usually keep the seats in the down position. Then it's nice and hidden.

i ordered focals 13ks for the front, for the sub i will probably just go with a bazooka... small oval size should be no problem behind the seats... BTW all of your enclosures look really sharp!

Please do not put a bazooka tube in your car. Pay one of the neighborhood kids to sit in the back seat and kick a cardboard box in time with your music. That will produce a more tonally accurate bass note than a bazooka tube.
