Calling all audio experts

Ok here's the deal. I have a 1970's Marcos 3l V6 (looks like this http://www.redlinesportscars.com/VRY358H%20big.jpg). At the moment it is off the road having some work done so I thought what a perfect time to put in my long awaited MP3 carputer and decent sound system.

Unfortunately though due to the fibreglass body I don't think a sub in the boot would sound too good (your opinions are welcome) or at least it would sound as good outside as it does inside (my local policeman wouldn't be too pleased!).

So I'm looking for your guys best suggestions speaker wise to get the best sound in this car without a sub (or with if you think it would be ok). There is a lot of room inside on the back shelf, front dash, door areas and very long foot wells to mess around with. For anyone who is interested you basically drive this car laying down.

I have read a lot of opinions in the forums on different setups so I'm not trying to be lazy here. It's just with all you audio experts out there I'm wondering what you think would be best in this specific setup with a fibreglass body (also gives you guys a good chance to flex your audio muscles!). Firstly from a speaker point of view the best number, type, power of speakers to still get a good bass sound. As this is a two seater the inside isn't very big so I don't think it would take much to blow people away Secondly sound proofing. It's an old car, it's fibreglass, and you sit about two foot away from a throbbing 3l Ford Essex lump and about 2 inches off the floor so yes the ride is at times a tincy bit noisy. As all the carpet is out at the moment anyways for a refit what would you guys suggest would be the best type in this application. I have read the reviews on DynaMat, Brown Bread, etc. but wondering what you guys thought in this specific application.

Let the debate commence....
