well man, im never the way to want and discourage anyone but- ya really got a pretty small trunk for those types of subs. with those subs the bigger the box the better. an installer I work with has 2 of those in his nissan pathfinder with a pretty big box and they still dont reach potential. but definitly dont give up if it doesnt work out with those subs those new alpine type x subs take less than a sq. ft of airspace. just a thought. good luck and keep us posted!

peace

What size solos are they? I'm w/ lathan on this, those solos are space hungary. They need lots and lots of space. But you might be able to sqeeze them in there.

L5 or L7? If it's the L7 then you'll probably have some problems dropping them in. Fiberglass will become your best friend with a project like this. Make the fg thick. And be sure to account for braces you're putting in there (and you will need plenty of these). Seperate the boxes. This gives the subs normally a better sound and is a safety factor when it comes to one sub blowing, the other is still in it's optimal box size.
