The trouble with mounting in the sides of the console is you don't hear the sound in stereo, yes it will make noise but that about it. The first couple of images shows what I'm doing to mine, but I'm in an earlier stage of rebuild than you! Next are pods I make for those who don't want to cut the car up. A little in the way, but not too bad! At least with something like this you have your main drivers as wide as possible and solidly mounted. 6X9's in a heavy parcel tray with a sub will give you plenty of bass.
