Yeah i looked at kee but he only has the driver side i want both to get a little more bass than one sub in a box that small.I have the cdt's in the sail panel and a cdt component set in the front and with only one sub it would he hard to keep up because there pretty loud.

Different strokes and all that, but...
I have CDTs all around (minus the hatch), too, all driven with aftermarket amps, and I assure you... a single 10" in a .75 cu ft sealed enclosure in a cabin that small will light it up and then some. In fact, until I amp'd all the other speakers, the sub was dominating the soundstage by a large margin unless I set it way down. In no way is it "not keeping up" with the rest of the system.
I honestly don't know how or why anyone can justify more than a single 10" at 300 WRMS, unless they are Pdiddy or something. We're talking about a compact sport coupe sized area, not a suburban or a living room, or even a sedan.
As a rule of thumb, 10" non-shallow sub cones are optimized for approx .75 cu ft sealed enclosures. 12" at approx 1.0 cu ft sealed. Ported enclosures increase by volume by about 25%. Why do you think that enclosure is too small?

i had to go with Subthump over Kee becuase the sub i used was to large for Kee's box. i did ask him about it before hand, and thats the only reason i went with subthump's box. and one 10 is plenty for these cars

So it seems that i like more bass than most of you and on that note i would like to keep the 12's i already have and the sound they produce but i also want to have back my ttop's back and a cleaner look .Plus the box's that i found for 12's are only .50 on the driver side and .70 on the passenger side and that will not produce a equal sound from both subs.

Thats not quit realistic. By switching to the stealth boxes you are cuttign out alot of airspace, which will reduce the sound your loving. Also, if i recall, the boxes are for 10's not 12's. your option may have to be the t-top storage box for 2 12's. Your tops would slide into the opening between box and gas tank hump.
