Alright, I re-assembled the rest of the car today, and modified the original grills to fit.

The back seat looks terribly filthy in this picture. I think it's the flash, because the back seat is really not that dirty.

Other side... This one was damaged by a previous owner. I think I'm going to replace this grill.

The one thing that I did allow to occupy trunk space was the amplifier.

I suppose I'll try to find somewhere else to put it...

I want to do something like that with my 93. I'm "retired" from the car stereo business so I'm able to do that kind of work. I do have a couple of questions for you. Did you use a shallow mount sub? Also, what model JBL driver did you use?

I used the JBL GTO804 subwoofers there. They're not particularly shallow mount, having a depth of 4 3/8 inches.

The basket and motor of the sub is huge, see the pictures below:
