How would this sound?

Those subs in that box face downwards, hence why I put "down-firing box". You put the subs in, turn the box facing down. The middle section goes over the "hump" in the floor. Why are you wanting full-size subs v.s. shallows? I see no point in even going 8" full-size sub, versus any thin 10". Any specific reason?

Cheap really means..."A system that will turn out expensive, because it will sound like **** to begin with and I'll waste money periodically replacing broke components."
So, no, cheap is a bad idea. Buy one piece at a time and do it right the first time. If you can't afford to do it right, how can you afford to do it twice?
You putting this in yourself? You just want subs? Don't let what audio shops charge fool you. You can get a full, passive system for under $900, EASY. It will sound decent, and you'll be satisfied. What all do you need? Alpine R's, NO. Alpine PDX amps or H.U.'s, yes. Alpine type R's are $500 for a pair, and a huge waste. CVT's. I'll harp on it. Under $200 for a pair. Put them in the box above, get a good amp.
