next summer set-up

just wondering what you guys think of this setup for next summer. Some of those things are already installed. I got infinity component set for the front, now i need 6X9's for the back & 4 channel amp. I'm doing a custom trunk, and doing some kind of enclosure for the amps with plexi glass. There will be 2 computer fans (one to pull air in, and one to push air out) and one neon bar in that enclosure. Also I just sold my pioneer AVH-P5700DVD, so will need new HU. I want to make a box in the spare tire well. i'm doing the same thing as the DIY, but instead of putting 2 subs, i'm putting 1 sub and putting both amps where the second sub would be and sinking them in with plexi glass over them. my type-r is 7 3/4" deep, i was wondering if it will fit? also anybody have specs for building a sealed enclosure for the type-r? And last, i got the infinity reference component set, but not installed yet, will i need a spacer or something? thanks in advance for your help.

i bought mine, you could make them outa mdf. But for 11 bucks, it was just easier to buy the abs ones BB sells, or future shop in your case

The infinity 6x9s dont fit without cutting sheet metel. Or atleast I couldent get them to fit. the cage is to big. alpine type s do thugh. u could buy my type s 6x9s for 70+shipping, unless u already have the infinitys.

do the 6.5 components fit in the back? or do you need to modify stuff?

I actually just bought type x components for the front so I dont think if I tune it right itll sound off. did you mount the tweet right next to the woofer? if you mounted them somewhere else away from the woofer or not inline with it I could see fow it would sound funny.
