Speaker sizes are in the frequently asked questions sticky at the top of the forum. I don't know of anyone making stealth (side) boxes for 12" subs - in fact, I'm not sure you can even fit 12" subs in those openings.

Perhaps a better question would be why do you feel it's necessary to put in two 12s? Do you already have them? What kind of system are you connecting them to (amps, other speakers, etc.)? What are you trying to accomplish with your system?

Answering those questions will help because many people here have tried countless combinations of components and might be able to suggest alternatives for you.

look in the sub bass forum.

only available for driver side, and only works with a small box 12. It has .85 cu ft of internal air space. Although, I think subthump may make one for the passenger side.

i know this sounds weird and the box may make or break you but along time ago i had 2 polk db 12" in a small sealed box that would just fit in the t-top well and i turned it upside down and it rocked as hard as turned up.it was weird because the only place there was air escapind was on each side of the trunk latch which acted like ports.then i added 2 more and made them an isobaric setup and it hit very,very deep. it wasn't really loud but they were hid and hit deep and extremely tight and clear.

I got a dual 12" box off of ebay from some seller in FL. The box works great, came carpeted and fit great. You can get some elemental design woofers on ebay directly from the company too, they are great in small seal applications. The box was rediculously cheap, $80 shipped.

The only admitted fault with the box was it needed to be sealed in a few places on the inner edges, that can be done with a finger and some caulking or liquid nails. For the price and fit, the best route to go. They said they would have sent another one, I just figured I could seal it myself. I've made a few custom boxes, and this beats the hell out of wasting a whole day making one.
