That side looks very cool, but I want to see the smaller passenger side cubby. That's the trick side.

There is the other side. Took forever though. My amp was going into protect mode because the coaxle speakers had an isolated ground too them, so i unhooked it due to the amp already being grounded.

Just cut a template out of card board and traced it on a sheet of acrylic glass. Next I cut it out and sand down the rough edges. Speakers plus materials were under 50 bucks.

I can definitely hear it from the driver seat but from the back seat its great. The sound stage in the back is almost as good as the front. Hope my passengers like the sound though.

The stock rear door speakers can barely be heard, much less give any kind of rear stage fill. The Japanese box (I think they call theirs a Corolla!) has C-pillar mounted rear speakers. I'm still in the process of mounting my old Fosgate coaxials (5.25") in the cubbies, but haven't had the time yet. My baffles are plain old 1/2" Baltic birch ply. A real pain trying to cut the panels to match the cubby openings!

looks good, but for sound quality, you shouldn't have any speakers (other than your sub) behind your fronts... unless you have some sort of sound processor to compensate - and even then i'd pass....

anyone putting in a serious system (not referring to those who think loud=better sq) won't have any rears... If you'd like a bit more info on this topic...
