So I'm going to running a stripped interior (everything but seats; no dash) as this is going to be a autocross car (86 Mustang Coupe), however it will be driven to and from the track and I need some tunes along the way.

I will be using heat/sound barrier on the firewall and roof but thats it. The trunk area will not be closed in with the rear seat or rear deck cover. I know this is not even close to being a good environment for the stereo, but its what I got.

I have CDT components, 2 8" CDT subs and a Kenwood amp and deck. Since the interior is gone I can mount the speakers just about anywhere.

What would be the best placement for the mids and tweeters. I know the tweets should be at ear level, how about the mids? Also since the truck area is open which direction is best for the subs to face? I would say facing up like a hatch back.

Thanks!

Heres a pic of the setup:

Ok so I guess I should have said this from the start; the amp rack and sub box are going to be removable, I just need tunes to get me to and from the track, I'm not looking to win any audiophile awards. I already have this stuff so its going into the car.

I suppose could you make some wood or plastic spacer rings for the speakers and place them in the orginal location, at least that's what I'd try, but don't expect much than "tunes" w/o door panels.  I can only imagine the odd resonance the bare interior will provide.
