Any creative sub set-ups?

Well right now i have 4 JL W0 10 inch subs...2 in where the backseat use to be and 2 in the wheel wells. But now im wanting to switch it up again, im bored with it and i just feel like doing something more creative with them. Any idea on where i can place the 2 subs that are in where the backseat use to be at? I dont want to move the ones in the wheel wells b/c i like them there, i just need a place to put the 2 other subs. I have a 98 Firebird if that helps. I was trying to think of a place up front that i could put them, like fab something up in the glove box or something but i couldnt think of anything. Im real good at electronic stuff so it wont be a problem hooking them all up, and ive made custom boxes for all my subs so nothings really an issue, its just i cant figure out where to put them. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Why not try fiberglassing a new box in the well and rear hatch area that will hold all 4-12's?

To be honest....those subs really can't be placed anywhere else besides behind you...they need too much enclosure space to sound halfway decent.

You could always switch it up by getting a 15"..

It will take up less space, sound better, and enjoy the lower octaves a bit more....

The glovebox isn't the best location cause the air box and the air bag take up a lot of the room that you'd think the dash would have under there.

You could always put some 8's in the doors but that's a lot of work and it doesn't give you as much bass as you'd think. It's tough to put a sub up front without doing a lot of major work and also keep it a daily driven type car.

Now if you wanted to get rid of the airbad on the pass. side, rip out the A/C and heating system and put like a 12" up in the dash or two 10's then it would be possible but that's now taking the car into strict stereo type use and not daily use anymore. I've thought of doing that but if it was done the care would then be strictly set up for stereo/SQ purposes cause it just wouldn't be all the useable anymore but that's another story all to itself.
