how many is up to you, just remember youll need a good Head unit to supply the voltages to the speakers and amps.

custom build the boxes to the correct size for the sub. - its in the manual how much space they require then fiberglass the whole installation in .

erm wat mdf do i use to make the fibre for speakers and sub out of. wat will it cost in stuff with out audio

the space will be measured in cubic feet make it slightly bigger than stated this way you can always make the volume smaller by adding internally - remember that you need include the space that sub itself takes up.

12 or 18mm thick ply of MDF to make the boxes.

and see this for the fiberglass kits http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Fibreglass-Supplies-UK i bought the kit D to do my build that was 5 mtrs of 450 chop strand. 5 kg of resin and 100 ml of hardener for £32.

if your after low sounds go bigger subs at least 12" TN will be able to tell you more

Hi mate have a look here http://www.bcae1.com/spboxnew2.htm.
Stick with 12's they will serve you well. As for which way the subs are mounted depends on the size of your boot. As you'll have to take into account that a sub mounted upside down will have to move all the air in the boot.
For the front and back I'd be looking at putting a set of components in both front and back. Your gonna need at least 2 seperate amps. You want to be looking at Class D Mono amps for the 2 subs and maybe a 4 channel amp for the other speakers. Or two separate 2 channel amps. Hope this helps buddy.
Look towards Audiobahn, Alpine, Pioneer, JL audio, JBL.
Infact have a look here www.bassjunkies.com

If your on about audiopipe they are rubbish IMHO. You would be better having a power cap yes.

same way as you measure any volume - hight x width x length = volume.
just measure in ft

ie 2 ft (24") x 3ft (36") x 1/2ft (6") = 3 cubic ft
2 ft x 3 ft x 1ft = 6cu ft
