I plan on doing a sealed box per the instructions for these particular subs.
I am keeping the 6x9'* for some fuller rear sound in the car. I will build the sub box so it doesn't interfear with them.
I like plexi and I will be using it no matter what formation I use for the installation.
I need to figure out how to "personalize" the installation. Stuff like makeing a light up pontiac symbol, neon light looking "SSEi" lettering, or something along that lines.
TaylorD'* setup is nice. The only thing is I want to keep the amps by the rear seats more and leave the main width of the trunk open.

I want to showcase them. Spent enough on them might as well show 'em off!
Not sure on the exact Cuft needed yet but I am estimating approximetly 1 - 1.5 Cuft. Once I get the subs I will now for sure.

Well knowing how much air (cuft) your subs are going to consume will help to get an idea of options for showcasing both the amp(*) and subs.

Um, I just picked up the amp and subs and OMFG those subs have HUGE magnets! 
and at a rated 1000 watts a piece, I'm gonna be pissing off a few people! 
I need to go lookup the remote control piece for the amp now so I can get it really decked out. I think I might start the installation process this weekend!
I am running a pcx440 series amp for the fronts and rears and a pcx2200 for the subs. Both are PPI amps (along wiht the subs, dcx125 series)
