Lightweight SQL setup

What's the absolute best way to get decent SQ with good SPL, at the lightest weight possible. I was thinking of two 10's and Dynamatting the trunk. I'm buying a 90's Integra soon, and I need something that will hit hard but isn't too heavy. I'm gonna run some co-axials off the HU for front stage, and maybe step up to components with an amp later. Money honestly isn't a big barrier, as I'm getting $13k once I'm 18.

One shallow mount 10" made into a fiberglass encosure in the front dash or center console...
or two 8" in custom pods up front....

mine is fairly lightweight ...... A cd player, an EQ & 4 channel amp in the trunk, mid/tweet in the kicks, and an 8" sub in each door. I added maybe 25 lbs and I still win comps. I didn't want to give up any trunk room. If you get a teg, you will have to seriously dynamat it - it's noisy, that's why Acura stopped making them.

Alright, thanks guys. The Teg isn't a 100% yet, but I want something that, for less than 10k, will keep up with SRT's and my friends very modded Sentra SE-R.

You can do a very loud, very good sounding set up that weights less than 70lbs if you are profecient with fiberglass.
A single SoundSplinter RL-P 12 in in a ported fiberglass enclosure with a ~500w is all you need to be ing hte mid 130's or higher (since it's a hatch). More than enough for daily. A well built fiberglass enclosure for a single 12 should be no more than 20lbs. i dont know how much an RL-P weights exactly but it cant be much more than my e12a which doesnt weight a whole lot. 25lbs tops.

the rest is just replaceing stock things with aftermarket speaks...so no weight added really. to save weight get a good deck that can drive its speaker level outs well with out clipping so you can get clean and loud with out an external amp for your mids and highs.
