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 have this same amp and sub set up! in an original alpine type r ported box facing the inside of the car!! the box being ported helps but i have absolutely no boot space! need to make a custom box!!

What kind off box do you have Chrisbmwe30?

When did you get a Cab??? :?
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.

You need two for isobaric, your statement implies you've only got one?

Never taken any Chu, but you won't see much as it takes up 90% of my boot space.
