do a small sub box in back or stealth box that way you can still enjoy your bass. 6x9's are not gona replace sub bass at all.

agreed. while a 6x9 has a bit more midbass if you are going for a cheap system set up, it wont replace subwoofers. if you dont want to loose your trunk space, do what i am in the process of doing...pull out the grey plastic "cover" that hides the ugly seat back and bracing (assuming your seats dont fold down, mine is a base model and i am not sure if upperscale models have a folding rear seat on the sedans) and make a custom box.

the box i am building will house two 12" subs but only will untrude in the normal trunk space by about three inches...

oh, and if you dont need the huge amounts of bass, i built boxes that fit under my seats and house 5" tang band subwoofers...i finished hooking them up this afternoon...eventually they will be providing bass up to 300hz to fill in where my subs leave off, but right now i am using them as subs and cut off at 125 hz untill i finish the box for my 12s...and they are more than enough for the average person. the little suckers hit hard, and the SPL in the car is about as much as a cheaper 12" sub set up.
