In your pics it looks like it sits high.

Learn to use fiberglass. It's really not that hard. I used to think it was exotic until My friend showed my how to mix resin. That is about the only hard part to it. (unless you don't wear a breathe and pass out from the fumes. Then the floor is the hardest part.)

I made a custom box to fit right behind the seats, it fills up that area perfectly and sits flush with the rear seat, its nothing special and I am hoping to do something better at somet point but it works

I was thinking that in that area a single 12" would work nicely. The cabin gain of F-bodies is pretty good. (most Hatchbacks are). You could make a box/amp rack all at once. You would only need to use Fiber glass to shape the curves over the back side panel. The rest can be accomplished by MDF. Just Just a couple anles, Belt or mouse sand them into shape. Are you going to paint it, vinyl it or just carpet it. If you Paint it will take a lot more work to smooth it out. Vinly would take just a little more work than carpeting and would look nice if dyed to match your interior. Just goto a good Paint shop and they should be able to mix some vinyl dye(not Paint), color matched and spray it for you for cheap. About $50-75 would be fair. Good luck man. Custom work really isn't hard when You learn how to handle Fiberglass and Bondo.
