    hey mate i was going to mount a 10inch sub in my parcel and it turns out its not worth it. you'd get much better sound quality and bass if you mount them in decent boxes in the boot. i know it would look mad but its not worth the quality you would lose. Cheers.

    Yeah not good for quality...plus if you havent got your windows tinted you'll get 2 problems, one is potential theives will see them easier and two is the sun/heat will damage the surrounds and/or cone within 3-6 months if left out in the sun during summer.

    1. Clearance would be a bitch and you dont want to be hacking into your parcel shelf... makes the car unroadworthy and if you grinded the sparks melt into your window and when u go to tint your rear window you will have little bubbles everywhere...

    2. 2 x 12" subs? you will be going through a rear window every 3 weeks hehe

    3. will not sound too good acoustically... box it up in your boot and port it if you have to...

    Hope this helps mate
