You can roll the windows up and take out the whole crank assembly.  In fact, you can secure the window in place with a 2X3 and bolts, and take out everything below it.

But you pay when it comes time to drive thru the late night window.

But other than that, which you should forget you ever asked...about the limit of power before you need to start upgrading alternator and such.  600 watts for sub and 200 watts for fronts, total 800, is about at the limit of most EOM alts.  You want more, then you go for the big upgrades.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Hrmmm, I don't want to remove the whole crank system, just maybe relocate it further up, because it's near the bottom of the door for whatever reason...

First off I drive a 89 s-10 and stand 6 foot 2 and have no problem with the sound getting around my legs. And my seat is also moved up because I have a friggin 9 cubic foot sub wall behind me. I think you have gotten plenty of good recomendations on here for your equipment, and if you wanna build on to your door you dont have to move the window crank. Just build the pods so the top is almost flush with the door and the pod then slants out so your speaker will have an upward mounting position, which is what you want anyways. Shouldnt be much of a problem.

ok then, scratch the mid-bass for right now, I figure I can always install the 6.5 mids in my door if the kick panels don't seem right...
And go with a couple of subs getting 600 Watts.
Maybe this...
1 Pair of Infinity Kappa 60.5cs Component Sets
(2) Infinity Kappa 120.3DVC Subs
(1) Sony CDX-M850MP Headunit
I was looking at a Rockford Fosgate 550/1 or something similar for the Sub Amp...and something like an MTX that puts out 85/2 for the fronts...what do you guys think?
And would it be beneficial to get some 6x9's for the rear hatch (factory location)?
Oh, one more question, 10 vs 12...Since I have the 6 1/2's up front, will that take care of a lot of midbass, or should I stick two 10's for sub's? to kinda bridge the midbass gap?

Good choice on infinity (got a pair myself, 5.25 version).  Kappa subs are nice.  The choice of 10 vs 12 is always in debate.  In the end it's up to you.  Two tens sound good and will hit "louder" than one twelve of the same type.  All depends.  I know that Sony makes some decent hu.  Don't perticularly know bout that one though.  6 x 9's are an excellent bridge for that sub and 6.5" area.  Look into a nice set (Polk, JL, or Infinity).  The will give you some bass also.   Rockford's are good amps now, they had this bad spell for a few years, but from what I've heard (people and the amp's themselves)  they are much better, but kinda expensive.  I like MTX and there are quite a few guys on here that have recomended that to others.  Kicker makes a good mono sub amp.  Also Alpine is a good company, not sure bout the mono amps, but...  Look around, listen to other guys systems, and do your research before you make the final decision (you will appreciate it later).  Good luck and keep us posted.
