It depends on which one you are looking at... the different models have different mounting depths... and if you don't mind losing your spare tire then the answer is yes.

I made a fiberglass enclosure for that area and the most I could get out of it was 0.7cuft. I don't know of any 12" that is perfect for 0.7cuft, unless you want something on the small size of the specs. I have an IDQ12 in it and it is really punchy, it can't do low base in that small of a space.

Right now I'm trying to decide to go with a 10" in my box or just make a well box. There are several 10" that would work ok in that area.

My opinion is no. I would go with a 10". As a matter of fact I'm switching my 12" out for a 10" and see how it sounds.

Sure you can do it. And if you prefer high bass that is most likely what you will get. You will not get the full low frequency response out of a box that is too small.
