If you mount the speakers rearward facing and add the amp in the front, you should be able to get another 40kph out of the Beetle up hill.
Actually i fit was a Fender Twin Reverb based amp, you would add a further 20kph to this speed increase and be louder than anybody else in a 2 square
mile radius!

For one, I thought you had a few too many amps there, but if there are more speakers yet to come, all well and good.
You can fit 2 x 12" in a sealed box (just) behind the rear seat. Fire them backwards for the best corner loading effect.
Amps, depending on size, can be on the sub box or under the rear seat, or under both front seats.
Front stage is usually either custom door cards (hard) or kick panels (easier). Either way its tough to get good misbass in the front of a bug - small
magnet 6" splits are usually the go, with the tweeters up high by the quarter window.
Rear stage is usually in the parcel shelf, but nothing is stopping you putting it in the rear trim panels, although the cavity behind is tough to seal
for good midbass.
Head unit can go in the dash or in the glovebox, or make a custom center console and put it in there.
Screen - maybe on a bracet from above the windscreen, or in the glovebox, or under the dash, folding down.
X box - maybe in the front boot - depends on how much space is taken up with amps !!!!!
Good luck, and remember - because of the shape of the beetle, and the corner loading this creates, you dont need as much power to go loud in a bug as
you would in a commodore.

good to see some alpine in there....... custom doorcards, sub in the back behind the seat.... sealed box for tighter more acurate bass......
(generally) also means the box will be smaller...... clean the dash out and mount the head unit in there, or head unit in glovebox and screen in
centre of dahs (or vice versa)
BUY a BIGGER SCREEN you know you want to
it would be a much cleaner install if you kept your backseat, you could still make it look very neat and much more practical, amps probably wont fit
the v12's under the seat, maybe room next to the sub box/on the sub box
should all turn out nicely, cant wait till i get to do a big custom on my next bug........ they are just built for it

Put it in the front man!
Anyone that wants powerful ICE always fills their storage.
Speaking of which I fitted a pair of three ways in my van this week up front to replace the horrible speakers screwed to the masonite before. I think
anything more than that would be a waste. Be careful with overkill in a VW. nless you have the engine off there is only so much use a sound system can
be. Personally I always found a nice set of extractors far nicer to listen to than even the nicest stereo, but that's just me.
If at first you don't succeed. Build, build again.
