well, anything that is supposed to generate some decent bass will need
to be mounted in something solid - so you'll have to back up that tin
sheet with some 3/4" wood, at least.  Also, the rear of those 6x9's (bad
idea, btw) will need to be isolated from the rear of the sub, or their
cones will get pushed around by the woofer's backwave.
