You could make use of the Door pockets and make a housing in each one to house speakers.
But in a word, No.
I have a cabby, but use components in the front kickwells and tweeters on the A pillar, and JBL's in the rear qtrs.

I'm running the 12" in an isobaric enclosure, that's loud enough for as much or as little bass as I want or need.

I've had my cab since march last year.. I haven't really done much to it due to my lack of a decent job.
How does the isobaric set up sound? I was thinking about doing somthing like that as it would save me space, and hopefully sound as good.
