Also made a small single 10" sub box for under the back seat. Totally sealed and down firing so it wont get damaged by stuff falling on it or people kicking it. Wrapped in outdoor carpet to match the floor of the boat and it was perfect. I know you Cig has a different back seat setup. If you have the room under the seat i would put to 12" free air subs in the seat wall facing the cockpit. Maybe install a wall between them to separate them but Ive seen them work just fine in the same space. If you wanted to get real fancy you could build or have some one build a forth order box...its a sealed sob box that fires into another chamber with a tuned port....so if measured right you could build a single sub box to place under the back seat and then just have a tuned port exiting into the cockpit...a bit more involved but out of sight and protected from most everything unless you store stuff under the seat :D

what if I modify the existing 6x9 hole to fit a 10 inch sub? I think it’s doable or am I wrong? It’ll sorta be under the seat.

then for the 6.5’s I could put them both forward of the sub about where your knees would be if riding in the boat?

I REALLY don’t want to cut up my vinyl. Will it sound like chit? I’m not worried about anybody outside of me hearing what I’m jamming to. We don’t have sandbars and stuff either so not looking to be the life of the party. Thoughts?

Cut
 
Friend of mine I went to high school with fired up an upholstery shop up in the last year or so. Dropped my side panels off to get the holes cut for 6.5’s in all 4 panels. I’m happy with the outcome

Looking good!! You could have your buddy at the upholstery shop make you a trim ring out of plastic for your 10" Sub if it don't cover the old 6x9 hole. You could wrap it in red vinyl to match your interior, XT had to make spacers for my 8.8's since I didn't have enough depth.
