Stealth enclosure would work in that case unless your looking for something big enough to necessitate removing the rear seats.

my opinion for you is to get dual stealth box, pass and driver with the rear wall amp rack.

Yes and yes. It really depends on the sub though as far as how much airspace volume you need. Here's my setup...the drivers side enclosure is one of mine and the passenger side is a Subthump that I've had for a couple of years as I've been too busy to fab one up for myself..lol!! Subs are RE Audio SE10's, amp is a RF Power 600.5.

i want 2 12's that hit at least 750 RMS and want to mono each to a 1000 RMS amps
i can see where wiring will be really simple
but the air space is limited
so for a bigger sub will need more air and i dont think there is enough for the power i want

the t-top boxes definately have more air space but don't let the stealth boxes fool ya. in my 4 f-bodys i have had 2- 10's up on the gas tank hump as well as 2-12's up there, also had a well box with 2-12's and now just a single drivers side stealth box. you will be quite surprised how much bass you can get out of the stealth. no one, and i mean no one, that has heard it so far believes it is just a 'lil ol 10! my amp bridged is rated 600 watts at 12 volt (ppi a600.2) so it is pushing much more than that. needless to say i have been very happy with it now, that being said, i am curious as to how adding a passenger side stealth would add to the mix. i don't think anyone is making them though?? how bout it Ian?? you plan on making any??

I hope to in the future. I'm having a hard enough time keeping up with the drivers side ones now. Plus I've been messing with these dang tweeter pods as well, in addition to everything else...LOL!! I need to make some molds of that area of my car so I can reproduce them. That's the thing that takes time. I fabricate from fiberglass for the most part on my enclosures so they take more time to do vs. an mdf enclosure.
When I do make one for myself in the near future (hopefully), I will be making it so that I can reproduce it!

hmmmm well i like the way the well box looks
really sleek and everything so im gonna go with 2 12's mono to 2 amps
I want something that looks really good and hits hard
and that area isnt exactly pretty in any way so might as well cover it and still have a place for the tops

If you want to go for looks as well as a good box. Go with subthump's t top box. I bought one last month and love it. I get complements on it all the time. But if you want the enclosures kee audio has those as well as subthump.
