Im sorry /r7 , I miss understood you. Most 6 x 9s Ive ever handled work on the concept of free air design. Is the Kicker 6 x 9s like subwoofer 6 x 9s only? Either way , they all pretty much work the same in an IB set up.

"Free air" or "infinite Baffle" results in a very low Q, which creates a boomy sound.  This is why smaller speakers like 6X9s can create extended low bass, but power handling and accuracy are sacraficed.  Any speaker can be mounted any way the user chooses; most speakers have better performance in specific configurations.  As long as the user understands and accepts the limitations and incorporates these into the system design, you can do pretty much anything with any speaker (short of using a tweeter as a subwoofer.)

i saw them on ebay, and a friend of mine that had been using kicker products for a while mentioned those specific speakers, i dont know if they were designed as a sub or not, but they were said to have quite a bit of bass for 6x9's

As far as making the 4 12"'s fit. Im pretty sure I can do it. Itll be tight but the trunk of the 94 mustang is a definitely a lot bigger than the older Fox body mustangs. IF this wasnt an Infinite Baffle setup I wouldnt even think of tryign this but the guys at Image Dynamics said it would sound killer so Im excited to build the set up.  Im going to buy a 1" thick board that's made of a very strong wood (recomendations??).  From what DYohn said it sounds like the most important aspect is to keep the airspace in front of the subs from ever comming in contact with the airspace behind the subs. Thanks again for all the help. Ill be sure to document the entire install and take lots of pics.

recomend 1" MDF found at most lumber yards , Lowes , Home Depot. Take your time and measure and cut the board as close as possible to all the edges and wheel wells and from bottom of the trunk to the underside of the rear deck. Good luck and look foward to seeing the pics.
