I don't really have any suggestions to throw out there... but if my memory serves 6.5s are too big for the rear speakers... you may need to get a little bit smaller pair.

But anyway, with 4 10s you're going to have a hell of a loud box. I have 1 alpine type R 12" and it's PLENTY.

You can fit 6.5" front and rear. Get some sound deadening and good luck on getting all that mounted!

This may be silly but do you want a stealth install, versatile install, competition install, SPL install, etc? Backseat stayin'? Display or storage? Better than what you currently have or same? How's the equipment installed in the Dodge?

There's a lots of room under the rear deck especially if you're willing to leave the spare tire behind. All the electronics could be put under there.

I would suggest a two-high stack up the C-pillars. That'll leave you enough room to haul things.

If you're hoping to not use fiberglass, consider removing the hatch floor, boxes, and spare tire. That'll give you an idea of what's available. Then you can build up from the bottom and allow things to fall where they want to. Fitting 4 10s will be difficult. Consider making cardboard boxes for the subs to see how much room they'll actually take up. It'll also help you quantify what you're willing and not willing to sacrifice for the sake of dbs.

Yea 6/5"s fit both front and back.

and personally, my amps are mounted on the back side of my back seat. and my box sits infront of them. So it hides them. looks clean, and easy to run wires to the front of the car.

I had 4 12 inch kicker cvr's for a couple days and i i couldn't take all the base and it was a wall of speakers in the back because the boxs were stacked on top of one another

I'm not sure I'd go with that many 10's... 2 12's would be better with a decent enclosure. Hit up www.hexibase.com and have him design you an enclosure. I had him design mine, and I couldn't be happier. My 2 12's will out beat 4 10's any day of the week.

ANd don't do capacitors. Upgrade your underhood battery and do the big 3. You should be fine. For an underhood battery, check out Powermaster's line. IIRC the 2700r will be pretty much a direct bolt in. I installed a secondary battery (Kinetik HC1800) under my passenger seat. I get no dimming at all.
