So one of my biggest gripes with car audio is the hole in the frequency range between the subs and the midbass drivers. I like to set the crossover on my subs around 80hz max and most midbass drivers just don't produce bass frequencies below 200hz as well as I like. I was reading up on Richard Clark's GN and remembered that he used 12"s in the panels beside the rear seat to fill in the gap between the subs and the horns. So now I'm thinking to put my components in the kick panels, beefy 6.5"s or 8"s in the rear seat panels, and a sub or 2 in the trunk. Thoughts?
woofers in the rear seat side panels?

Awsome I didn't realize gbody parts sold them..thanks Mike
I stuck 6x9's behind the panel in the rear arm rests in my cutlass. cut the cardboard backing off the padded area above the arm rest so the sound wasn't muffled. Couldn't tell they were there, unless they were on. Get creative with some fiberglass and dynamat to seal it up, and you could have some pretty good sound from there.

All good high end manufacturers make drivers that will cover the midbass easily. You have to know what you are looking for. If you want it out of a 5 or a 5.25 your options are very limited.
