Anyone come across a nice 6x9 or 5" Speaker enclosure for this space?

in this space:

that not my rig.

I know I could put in rear interior panels and mount speakers behind them and I might do this, my question there is what's the ease of install on the panels (anyone have the instructions?) and would it be helpful to put sound dampening on the inside of the panel? I suspect putting it on the body is better but I don't want that as my paint is nice.

I'll hang up and listen.

Why not do a boat tower speaker and mount it to your roll bar either there, or even further back and aim them forward?

I cut out the floor in that area on both sides, fabricated drop-in battery boxes just large enough for Optima red tops, and welded them to the floor with locking trap doors. The battery boxes clear the frame and sit just in front of the rear tires. Makes use of empty space and helps keep weight down low and centered.

I'd show you pics, but Photobucket can kiss my ass.

I have considered this however I prefer the clean look of nothing on my roll bar. Thx

Spareparts: was that custom made or off the shelf so to speak?

They were all custom made... sub is a fiberglass wrapped down firing box, the 6 1/2's are fiberglass enclosures.

That is exactly the enclosure I'm looking for. My interior is the same without panels and I would prefer to avoid putting panels in there because the finish is so nice. Any idea where this enclosure comes from? I've scoured the internet and can't find a source. Any help would be appreciated.
