i had a set of 5.25" components in the doors and 4x6s in the back of my old s13 and it sounded really good, you couldn't even hear the rear speakers.

Most GOOD component sets can not run properly on the 18-26 watts rms a deck puts out. the "65x4" or whatever is plastered on the face is useless.

I am going to add either a 10 or a 12 inch RE audio XXX and an amp from US amps. I am going to redo the rear hatch part and get a custom fiberglass box what is all held in and wired with stuff that is "quick connected" so i can take it in and out in like 5min for racing.

By "quick connected" do you mean "easily stolen"? Look into your system pics a bit more. the XXX will tear apart a f/g box. Also its not a sound quality sub at all, so i imagine youre going for the spl? Look at the size requirements of a properly built vented box, May not fit in the hatch even with using the tire well. Also, are you prepared for the current draw of a US amp? I dont know if they started making class d but the a/b class amps they used to make were hogs, not really something a stock 240 alt could handle on a daily basis
