Th malibus trunk is so small that the biggest box I can fit in through the trunk is about 30 in wide, 14.5 in tall and 17.5 deep. Made a big box that fits through my back seats but the height restriction is my only issue there. Even taking the back seats completely out I have hardly 12.5 in of clearance. Taking into considering the top and bottom sheets of Mdf, that's roughly 11 in for the drivers, heightwise, in the trunk... /-: And what's so bad about the skars? I've only heard good things about them and I can get the whole component set and 6x9s for about 150 shipped from a buddy of mine. And no I haven't heard them yet/-: any other suggestions for those as well (around that price range)
