I plan on, hopefully, purchasing a Celica sometime in the near future and currently am laying out the plans for the audio system. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated!

Actually I'm pretty big on car audio (not anything extreme, just a real big fan lol). The bass I heard from the Basslink's system seemed pretty clean and relatively easy on the ears (I have a small family and I cant go too far out as far as I would want to). Anyways, most likely the system would go into a hatchback due to the better accoustic properties. Another thought I had, as far as placement goes, is cutting a section out of the lower back of the front seat (If that makes any sense..?lol) and fitting it kind of like how a monitor fits into the back of a headrest. Or could the Cover panel for the actual hatch be capable of supporting the weight of a couple basslink's? (my preference to the basslinks stems from the relative cheap cost, ease of installation as i cant spend too much time on it, and its relative small size in opposition to my current 15" audiobahn).

If you were to mount your subwoofer in your seat, it would heavily limit sound quality and SPL. Your "box" will simply be made of cloth and filler, and if the Basslinks aren't infinite baffle type subs (IB subs are kinda sucky anyways), you'll find linear distortions in the way your sub plays, mainly due to you sitting in the seat and the oddities of the space, which could force the speaker to play oddly.

Also, if you're looking to put subs in the hatch cover (not sure what that is, i don't have a hatch), you would probably need to reinforce the structure and build a box underneat it. It would also be a good idea to place the woofers near the back of your hatch. If this makes sense, I'm not as dumb as I think I am.
