The main problem with putting subwoofers in that spot is air space. you simply don't have enough to get any reasonable response out of a normal sub.. I have heard some good things about Audiobahn's 6.5" subwoofers, but I never got to hear them personally, so I can't speak for them.. All in all, I'd say build a box that would give you more airspace and a better location.
The stock bins are bad locations by design, although if you work at it, you can get things to sound acceptable in there.
Personally, I put a 10" sub in a box where the spare tire went.

thanks fellas for the responce. well what would sound good ? what kind of volume does the tower have does anybody know? oh i had a 10 inch tube where the spare but i found out that a spare is a good thing the hard way, I caught a flat about 400 miles from home and there was no where that i could go and get a 255/45/17 off the shelf so i had to get a hotel room for the night while they ordered me a tire plus i was runing a 107 degree fever and my 13 yr old son was throwing up. need less to say a spare is a good thing

You could always build a box to utilize the space in the rear corner(s) between the shock tower and the spare compartment.. there's some pics around of someone who built tubes to fit 10" subs, make it look there was a second set of shock towers, rather well done.

I made a box for a 10" that I dropped in the storage bin. Then I mounted an amp on the wall behind the seat. I would recomend doing it that way, because you can get the right amount of air and bigger subs sound better.

That's scary. I guess now that I think of it, I've driven on a donut for an extended time, but not a long road trip. Just many relatively short trips. I suppose you wouldn't want to push your luck, especially if the spare is the original one that came with the 16 year old car!

I was planning on putting a pair of these in the rear towers.
