Inverted Subs In MINI's

Has anyone had any experience with a pair of inverted subs in the hatch of a Cooper? i built my box tonight and i'm gonna built the plexi to cover the other side of the subs. i'm thinking maybey one inverted and one flush mount sub next to eachother.

any tips before i have to find out the hard way?

Not sure which way you are going to set them up but I have had this set up going on 3 years now with no ill effects.

that looks sweet man.

i'm gonna revise my box now. i'm just gonna make some 12" square boxes to put on each side and have a amp rack in the middle at floor level to hold the amp and prevent the subs from moving around.

is that a glass box or is that MDF in your car?

They were made out of a combination of MDF and fiber class. Feel free to use any of these ideas .

ok, ive got my final idea in pen and i have to go get some more wood today to finish the assembly. i'll have pics tonight hopefully of the box either mocked up or in the early stages of assembly. I think this one will be a bit different than the ones i have seen.
