... If you don't put them in the trunk, I can't imagine how you would use enclosure speakers. Thus, you will be forced into open-air "subs". I have never liked open-air subs, myself. They just don't have the tightness that enclosure speakers have.

Besides being able to use enclosure speakers, the trunk does have another major benefit (at least according to my friends who are really into this stuff). The trunk, itself, is a secondary enclosure. My buddies dumbed it down for me: the speaker's enclosure give it "tighness" while the trunk-enclosure gives it boom.

Personnally, I thought my speakers have more "Boom" in the open cabin of my truck than they did in the trunk of my 850i, but whatever.

Either way, I doubt you will get a really nice sounding system off of open-airs... assuming you are looking to match your truck's SQ system.
