Default Driver Stealth Box for 'vert

So, really dumb question here...

I'm looking for solutions to revise the sub setup in my 'vert. I currently have a 12" sub taking up the entire trunk well space, and I am realizing how poorly it was actually executed - the "box" and port don't even come close to matching the manufacturer's specs.

I have seen the 10" stealth box for the coupes that fits into the driver's side rear quarter and it's piqued my interest.

I realize that the convertible top pump sits in this space...but it seems like it'd be easy enough to swing it up onto the parcel shelf, and I believe there's still plenty of room for the top to retract. I'd confirm this before I take any action.

My question is, will the stealth box physically fit in the pump location on the 'vert, or is the shape of the cavity fundamentally different than a coupe? I realize the trim on the front of the box wouldn't "flow" into the vert well, but I have no problem pulling that apart and reworking it to fit & flow properly.

No it won't fit, but the pass side one will.

Hmmm...that's an option. I know i'd have to give up the passenger side spare, but for a "fun" car maybe that's not an issue.

Thanks!

Stupid question - does someone make them? I found plans to build one. Just curious if there's a vendor producing passenger side boxes.

Awesome, thanks! BGW70, that's basically what I was picturing - thanks for the visual. I wonder if that's the Subthump box as well. Looks like it could be. I'll dig around some more.
