I know this is a mine field, and we all have different opinions, I just had the Alipne cubby box sub fitted, and upgraded the speakers, and wow what a difference, look on urban automotive website, they have all the options and speaker numbers etc, I also upgraded my rear speakers with the same, my trucks a 90 csw, and to be honest I should have saved the money as I cant hear them anyway !

Alpine SWE-1200 is the sub, fits perfectly on the back of the cubby box and gives some decent bass. It won't be a good as a proper one but given the limited space they are the best choice. Loved mine since I installed it.
In the front, you can fit bigger than 4" up to around 5" or so with the use of a spacer or whittling out some extra space. I went for Infinity 5030 CS with external tweeters, they sound very good and quite powerful even just of the  head unit amp.
A set of 3 way speakers or some 6x9s in the back would go a long way as well. Got to remember unless you fit a dedicated amp to power the lot they wont sound as good as they could, nor will they be as loud. The amp in the head unit can only power so much! |

I made my own holes in the dash to fit the four inch speakers so am happy to enlarge that a little. How would the sub function with the bulkhead still in situ?
Amp is definatley on my list but again require someone with knowledge to point me in the direction of a decent one. I have two 6x9 sat on a shelf I could add in the rear corners but I would have to fabricate some boxes. Thanks for the help. |

Should still fit and should be fine, the sub is designed to work under a seat after all! In my 90 I had a Kenwood underseat amp mounted directly to the bulkhead, that was rather good.
Since you wont have to mount to the cubby box as the bulkhead is still there I would have a look at the JBL underseat sub, in the US its branded as Infinity, here its JBL both are subsidiaries of Harmon Kardon! So good sound all round haha The JBL is slightly larger so not great for fitting on the back of the cubby but it is more powerful. |
