What are the measurements of the trunk? If space is limited for a ported enclousure for the two subs, I would only put one in a proper ported box.

Not really sure about ideas, but I can give you the specs for your subs....

Sealed Enclosure
Compact: 1.5 cu ft
Maximum: 6.0 cu ft
Note from Kicker: All sealed enclosures based on Kicker specs should be 50% filled with loose Polyfil, and allow a 2-week break in period for the subs

Vented Enclosures
Compact: 3.0 cu ft with a 2.5x16.25" vent 19.5" long
Street Bass: 4.5 cu ft with a 3x16.25" vent 14.75" long
SPL/Deep Bass: 6.0 cu ft with a 3.5x16.25" vent 13.75" long

Here's a link to the L7 manual so you can see where I got the specs from

Are you looking to give up all your storage space? Or do you want a compact enclosure?

If you’re willing to give up all your trunk space then I would go with the 3.0 cu/ft specs listed above. The enclosure will not be easy to build and you will have to construct it inside the trunk and will be working in very small spaces. To start I would measure your trunk and use the 12volts volume calculator https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp#rec to find the dimensions that will work in your trunk. You also might want to check out Car Domain https://www.cardomain.com and look at the same make car and see what and how other people have designed enclosures for your trunk.
