If you're going with the zenclosure or 4080, you don't really have a choice.

If you get something custom, I'd default judgment to whomever is building the custom box as to front or rear would be better.

Yeah i didn't like what i read about the zenclosure and the 4080 isn't good for me since i need the trunk as wide as possible for golf clubs so I'm going custom. The guy recommended to face it forward so thats what I'll go with. I figure he's right since firing it back would just cause more vibration in the trunk i don't need before it comes back into the car. I'm not just going for being obnoxious lol, i want good sound quality. Just wish the g had a folding or removable thing in between the 2 seats i could take out to see it behind the seats and maybe relieve some pressure from the seats and rear deck.

Oh and where'd you buy your clear corners? I hate the orange with a passion. And how'd you go about painting your grille? Mine has some chipped paint in a couple places and i think black would look awesome anyway but i don't want to make it look cheap.

Clear corners, I picked up here:

Grille... sigh.
Don't paint it yourself. Trust me on this one. I had half the supplies I needed to do the first one, it turned out good, but not as good as a pro would. Second one turned out better, but still not as good as as professional. The hours spent sanding, priming, sanding, painting, sanding, clear coating, sanding, polishing.... Just remove it, pay somebody the $60 or whatever they charge to do it for you, and put it back in.

You'll only save *maybe* $10 doing it yourself, and lose at least 3-4 hours, since you can't use aerosol cans to get as solid a coat as a professional gun can, so you have to spray, wait 30min to dry, spray, wait 30... sucks.

Yeah i thought that might be a little difficult. I'll have to look into getting it painted eventually, i think it would look pretty good with my gray G.
