dude i can fit two 15"s in a custom box in back. i'm sure you can fit 3 somehow. do a little bit of calculating and "re-aranging". it took me about 5 hours on a saturday to build the box and less than $30 for supplies. but i love the set up. the subs and amps blow cause they're weak *** american legacys but my friend claimes he can hear me coming down his street from inside his house (two 15" 800 watt subs and two 600 watt amps)

i don't have any pix right now cause they got deleted but i'll try and post some up tomorrow

The thing about the rear seat location is you loose output. Putting the 15's in the rear seat area will make them sound like 12's.
You will get the most output, not to mention sound quality with them mounted in the far rear.

I doubt there is enough air space for 2 15's much less 3 in the far back. How much space does each 15 need? If you don't have the room, then probably 3 15's in the rear seat area will sound about the same as 2 15's in the far rear or close enough. You'll be moving a lot of air, that's for sure.

You can hear me coming down the street with one 12" and 300w.
That's with quality equipment, though.

I'm with them. Keep the seats and throw two 15"s in the rear.

First, fiberglass is your friend.

Next, I have two 15"s myself. See my sig. If you were skilled and willing to do a couple things... you could get about 6.5-7 cubes back there.
