Sound deaden the rear quarters and fit 6x9's in there?? Thats what I was thinking about doing in my Valver.
That would be my suggestion.
A friend came to me with a Stripped to f**k Turbo'd VTR wanting a similar experience. I made a cardboard template of the hole left by removing the doorcard then transfered this to some MDF rear door cards and carpeted them in same material as his cobras and bonded them in place with 6x9 in just powered off a head unit probably putting out 15wrms. Due to the fact the rear quarter is kinda sealed, It creates quite a nice enclosure (please note, not perfect)
In the end, He purchased some Carbon rear door cards, Which i cut a 6x9 hole in and affixed to the door card "gap" with windscreen sealent. Was a huge improvement in sound and added little weight.
In essense, I would have sound deadened the inside of the rear quarter panel, But i am one to add weight to a car to increase aural pleasure rather than take stuff out of the car.
IMO this is a very effective way of improving sound in a stripped out car without the weight, Mention this on an audio forum and they will bang on about how bad 6x9s are and how amps are needed, But i think this is a very good compromise to improving audio.
This also looked quite good with carbon door cards and a cage. When i say door card its basically a sheet of carbon, No fancy mouldings.
Give me a shout if your interested in doing this and ill be happy to give a more indepth post!
