So when I start putting the MGB back together again obviously I'm going to want to put some speakers in.
To avoid ruining any of the panels (or the beautiful new door cards cloud9) I'm planing on making a 'box' for the boot (not one of these ghey 'boom boxes' all the chavys have). All nice and tasteful like, rectangular box going along the back of the rear seat.

Is it worth, along with the 3 or 4 speakers I'm planing on, putting a small subwoofer in?
Not one of these stupid massive things the yobbos like to try and blow their boots open with, but just a smallish one the same size as the speakers?
Or am I better off just with good quality speakers?

Also is there anything I should look out for doing something like this?
E.g. will the radio happily power the 4 speakers / any issues I may have

Id think it would sound bad tbh, try fading the stereo in another car so all the sound comes from the back speakers, then imagine those speakers are shut in a boot...
Its a GT not the roadster so they wont really be 'shut' in the boot

So basically, find somewhere to put 2 in the front (Under the dash seems a possibility) then 2 more and a small sub in the boot?

All this sounds a bit more confusing than I first expected hehe
