I had a down firing sub in my 02' while experimenting. It really shook the sheat metal when I cranked it up. That's with modern day construction and tons of Dynamat.

Are you going to down fire strictly for stealth?

If you want stealth, for example: I would rear fire the 10" and make a grill cover similar to what you see on home speakers. You could even fashion the frame of the grill to have a mounting spot for your new emblem.

I was thinking about horn tweeters mounted under the dash in the front. They cover a lot of the mid range and can totally crank. It sounds as if you are going to have all your mids and highs coming from the rear. It can play loud but you will always wonder why it doesn't sound right. You have to have roughly 75% of your mids and highs coming from in front of you. I would fashion up a 5-1/4" kick panel set of separates.
