with the advice from Murph and Jay,I put them in the kicks near the floor,here are a few pics of what I did.I first use the speaker mounting ring to decide exactly where i wanted them to be and than drilled a pilot hole to get my sawzall in to cut,I used the sawzall because of the irregularities of the metal.I also used safety glasses due to the fact that small pieces of metal would be flying around,I than drilled the holes that were used to secure the outside and inside rings to the meatal. 
I used construction adhesive to secure the outer and inner ring to the metal.the outer ring was made of 3/4 mdf.and I used expanda foam to fill in any gaps that were not covered by the 2 rings, 
and here is how it looks with the Ultra 6 inch midbass in,I will be building a custom enclosure for the outside to keep the midbass protected from the elements.pics of that will be coming soon,

LOL
It looks good though
I need to get my Caddy running correct, needs a new TCC solenoid FML, then I'll get my install going. A shop will do it though since I've never done an install and this is going to take the relocation of my stock Bose HU.

Truth. It would save me $300.
I've seen some threads about how to relocate them on here. I've never done an install before.
Running wires for the amp is gonna be simple since the battery is under the rear seat.
