Many years ago I had a pair of 8in Rockford fosgate free air subs in those locations. Filled the towers with poly-fill they pretty muck fit right in after removing the stock enclosures. They weren't bad but don't expect to be able to use any non free air type sub as it would be very difficult to get a good seal.

think i could seal them?? and how was the sound quality?

You could make a small enclosure that drops in. If you sealed off the only way to the rear struts, you'll have to dig/cut out whatever you put in to get to the struts if they or the springs ever go bad or you want to upgrade.

ok cool, i might do that, itd be nice to keep the limited space in the car open and not filled with speakers.lol if i do it i will do i right up on how it turns out.

there were some Roadmaster 8 inchers in mine when i bought it, but it sounded shitty (maybe it was just the brand subs) so i took em out

You'd probably want to make the enclosures fill up as much of that space in there as possible, because I doubt there's enough room to make solid boxes with the recommended internal volume for whichever subs you use. However, if you make your enclosures out of thin material it WILL sound like ****.

Keep in mind too, you may run into clearance issues from the hatch struts.

good points!!! thanks for all the input. ill measure everything before i start, if i dont think its gona work ill just do some regular boxes. but id like to have the extra space.
