Default tC audio question

I am looking to put a kick ___ system in my tC. Anybody that has already done this, what size speakers fit in the front, and the back. Do you have any pictures? Also Do you have one sub or two? I plan on making a custom fiberglass box, if any one can help I would appreciate it. Did I mention please post PICS PICS PICS

You can fit 6.5" in the front and the back with minor mods. The stockers are weird sizes at 5.5" in the rear, 6.3" in the front, and the tweeters are 1.2". Can't help with the rest since mine is still stock.

I replaced the fronts with some Focal separates. Gut the existing plastic speaker housing in the door and mount your new speakers in them. That way the front of the speakers seal up decent against the door panel and you don't have to worry as much about sealing up the metal panel. I left the stock speakers in back and toned them down with some resistors so they don't ruin the imaging up front but still sound alright if I have anyone in the back. I put in an alpine cd/mp3 (first time I've had an MP3 player in a car, now I'll never go back), Zapco EQ/X-over, another Audio Control X-over and Epicenter, a couple Zapco amps, and a single JL audio 12" sub in a sealed box (sub sounds amazing, I need to clean up the box install though). Whole thing sounds really good, but the imaging isn't so hot with the stock front speaker locations (I'm a bit picky on this stuff, I used to do sound quality competition systems back in the day). If I get time some day I may try making some custom kick panels to improve it. I'll put up pictures some time soon.
