Interesting. Technically they shouldn't, but maybe they enhance the back sound enough to make it sound better. Or that they are better than nothing... lol
Like I said, guessing on what they look like.

Makes me want to go see if my 88 parts car still has them, then throw em on the GT for reference. ;)

Jon is right; Cliff's car has the boxes, and some Kicker 6x9's (which I now have a duplicate set).

His car hits just as hard, or damn close to it, as my 12" Alpine in a sealed box (a cubic foot box for reference ;) )

I want my trunk space back, and the box just takes up too much space. Not an ideal road trip car IMHO.

So if this works like I hope it will, I'll have more trunk space, and a comparable bass hit.

They formed a "box" of sorts, but I always thought the trunk space gave the speakers better acoustics, as you have more of a resonating chamber using the trunk, vs the tiny space the boxes give, or are you wanting them for some other reason? Looks?
Definitely not.. They're actually a plastic box. In the '88s, the speaker would attach to the box, then the box would attach to the deck. They have a seal between the box and the deck as well.

Ah, big difference. That would help some yes, because the material was firmer. Thanks for the clarification.
