The Boston G2's are a sweet sub and they can take quite a bit more power then what they are rated for (300rms) and for 300w they can get loud even in a sealed box. You won't be disappointed. How much you paying for the equiptment if you don't mind me asking. was looking at the same setup for a buddy of mine except the 12" instead of the 10"

 

Definitely try your system with and without rear fill. Many guys on here don't like rear fill, but I'm one of those guys that hates the sound of my system without it. I find most non-custom installed systems without rear fill to be very flat(lacking ambiance). Try it both ways, and don't let anyone tell you what sounds good.

 

With all the wiring, box, and installed, comes to around 800$ taxes included.

 

speakers in the rear deck can be a bad idea with a sub in the trunk anyway... soundstage aside...

The standard recipe for decent sound without $$$$ install is to put the components in kickpanels and add midbass in the doors.... then Id get a 12 or 15 and port the SOB.... no matter if you go ported or sealed the sub and box you choose should reflect the amount of space you have and the sound you want...

If youre just going to grab a prefab box Id look for a high compliance driver... learn how to use winisd and use the sub that gives a Q around .707 (for flattest response) with the volume of the box you have...

personally,(I know its not the same thing but) to me without rear speakers is like having a surround sound without rear speakers, can be done but just isn't right. thats just me though, I tried for a week without rear speakers in my car and I hated it, there was just something missing. it may of been better if I had better front speakers, but no money for that. but ya I agree try it both ways and see what you like. thats the only way you will know.

 

Try kick panels if they work for you, they don't for me( combination of my girth blocking the sound and Irritation factor-my foot always wants to rest on them). As far as rear deck speakers; if your subs are right behind your rear seats and vent inside the cabin, i've found no problem with them. Also, I like to put them in a sealed enclosure when possible or seal the rear deck. Use your ears to balance the sound properly to your liking and I love time alignment for correcting front image problems without having to re-engineer my interior. A good processor for surround effects is also nice, the setting on my era-g320 for live mode is quite good, I've had many friends get in the car and comment as to how real it sounds...I guess that's a good sign.

 

Pardon my noobness here, but, what are kick panels ?

 

Kickpanels, they are the areas in your footwells, inside the vehicle, under the dash, to the left of the driver and the right of the passenger.

Here is a pic for a better idea.

I took the 6x9's out of my car.
Best decision I've ever made.
