DONT DO IT
Word. The only thing I can think of if you want to keep space for the trunk is door mount (like the Illusion Audio ND series) or a custom install, the only place which I have really looked at is the cupholder area and the console under the armrest.... that would be a lot of work and expensive, but it's a good alternative to taking up the trunk.

ok, here ie a tip: Make use of your space. Buy a single good sub and put it in either an ABC box or a factory recommended ported box, depdending on what you want. If you want SQL, go with the ABC, pure SPL, go ported.... if you need any advice for anything good, just ask around on here, especially CarpePoon, he knows his shiz....

I'm thinking, if you don't care about the trunkspace, get rid of the 10s, all of them, and get a really good 15" driver and mount it in a tuned ported box. With it's cone area alone it would kick the tens asses for SPL, and that's talking one 15 vs. two 10s (althouh a really nice 15 will more than likely get as loud as everything you plan on tossing in your trunk) A single 15 will also be easier to get sounding really good since you aren't mixing different equipment with different abilities.
The more different equipment you start tossing in there the harder it will be to make it sound good. Loud is great, but noisy gets old real fast. So says the guy that once had 14 speakers in his Contour, and has since gone down to 7 (custom 3 way front components, and a 15" sub) The scary part is that by choosing better equipment, less drivers are more capable than the wagonload I had.

Seven!?!?
2 Tweets, 2 Mids, & 1 Sub - all I ever use. 
Been pondering a PR sub system in my MSP. Will the 1 or 2 PR's count as "drivers"?

Passive radiators don't count, or else I would count ports too (my current box has a few tiny ports I can't seem to pinpoint so I destroyed it) I was contemplating a PR system too, but with the ED subs the ported box is tiny (2.2) so it's not really necessary.
Up front I have the 7" Vifas, I'll have the BG Planars back in the kicks with them, and playing from 8000 up the tweeters in the pillars.
I could have gone with just 5 speakers, but not using these Neo8s would be such a waste
