Get a single 10inch sub. It wont cost much more and the sound quality will be much better.
Will also cost you about the same to get it fitted, if your not going to do it yourself of course.

Personally its not worth the money as the same thing can be achieved with mdf and some acoustic felt from halfords.
If you have a corsa then all you need to do is screw a sheet of MDF to the underside of the shelf and cut 2 holes for the speakers through the shelf and attached mdf. Screw the speakers onto the MDF from the bottom and then cover the whole of the top and bits underneath with acoustic felt from Halfords (or similar)
Result - 1 stealth shelf that will mean no one will see your speakers.

Well in my opinion its always wise to do it as you will always park it in town or somewhere were people will beable to see through your back window.
There will be minimal sound quality difference between being covered and not and as most people will tell you, if you are using 6x9's then its generally just a method of increasing volume as apposed to sound quality so it shouldnt be a problem.
