i have a problem. the system in my truck sounds great but i need more treble. i have my setting where they sound best except for the treble part. i also have a 4 chnl amp where i still have two open channels. the problem is that i dont have anywhere else to put speakers. my only solution is to build myself a custom box i've measured around and i can only find one space big enough and out of the way. its right under my clutch stick where i have 8 1/2 inches length, 8 1/2 width and 7 inches height. im lookin to put two tweeters (i think theyre about 2 1/2 diameter) and two 6 1/2 speakers in this box. right now what i really need is suggestions to: 1. make this box. 2. where to put the speakers on this box. and 3. how to make this box sound good. any help would be appreciated.

optimus 4 chnl amp (85 watt rms per chnl)
2 reactor audio 10' subs.

ok, put the 4 channel amp on the 6.5" and 6x9 speakers
get a separate amp for the subs.
if your treble is still lacking, replace the front speakers with 6.5" separates, like something from Infinity or CDT.

that sound good and all but i have 2 problems..im broke so i probably cant get another amp . And right now this system isnt hard on my alternator and i cant afford a bigger alt. the only reason im wanting to go with the box idea is because i already have the extra speakers and i can get the wood for the box free.
