Right now I have a 1993 Maxima Sedan. The car is slowly deteriorating and I've slowly been losing care for it. I know eventually I'm just going to have to buy a new car, so I want to use this car as a little experiment. At this time, I have two Kicker 12" Comp subs and two kicker ss65.2 rear speakers powered with an Orion 600.2 amp. In the front I have two MTX tweeters (forgot model number) powered by a Jensen 200.2 amp.
What I want to do: This may sound crazy and stupid, but I want to custom mount an 8" sub into the glove box, and use the glove box itself as the sub enclosure. Now I'm not very wiring inclined, but any initial ideas or suggestions? Sub/amp combo to use? Ideas on how to do it? Warnings? Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Austin

It will be an 8 inch midbass fighting with your 6.5's It will be "fun to try"....but won't sound very good. 1 speaker extra, on one side of the car.....makes for a bizzare front stage.

yeah I figured It wouldn't sound good at all with only one 8" (on the passenger side) so I was trying to think of a way to get another one on the driver side
