6.5 Inch Subwoofers in rear sail panels?

Post by mabbasest »

Hi Guys,
I'm installing some hertz mille pro mpk 163.3 speakers in the front (dash midrange, tweeter sail panel) and and an audison prima set in the back (already came with the car), but this got me wondering. Since the rear is mainly going to be used for fill, and I can get the Hertz to relatively comfortably get down to 70hz, I may be able to put some 6.5in subwoofers in the rear panels. Is this a stupid idea? What's the internal volume of the rear panel speaker enclosure, and how leaky is it?

I don't know whether my wide angle photo helps at all. From memory, I would guess approaching a couple litres in each speaker mount with more in the cavities behind:
