Not really mate,they are way too small to get really good sound from.A custom install is what you need,as said some mdf rings hidden under grills could work or if you want to go really silly-

Ive no boot space but the sound is fantasic winkeye

I just use some MB Quart comps in the rear pods( as Rear fill)
Got a nice little 4" mid and 3/4" titanium tweeter in
there

More than does the job with my surround sound setup

Shane320iiYour boot looks a bit like mine
