Thank you Mike @ Zenclosures
Mike and his 20 something y/o co-worker/wife hooked me up w/ a rear strut enclosure and single 10" Elemental Design Sub.
What a FRIGGN difference sub location makes!
I am running Eclipse highs and mids w/ 10" Eclipse Sub in factory location. All dyno matted and powered by a sinle Alipine V12 amp.
However, it just plain sucked.
Just cut old wires, removed factory located sub, and relocated new wiring to new sub.
100000000000x better

IMHO, two 12s would just be entirely too much (2 10s would be MORE than enough). But that's just me.
Also, I am not sure there is a sub that would allow for such few cubic feet of air space that 2 12s could fit directly UNDER the rear strut like a single 10.

it sounds best if you face the sub back, up or forward?
I know zenclosures has a box that fits 2 12s but it takes up the entire trunk and faces upwards, not sure if thats the best to go with or have it face backwards like how you have. Would be nice not to have to ship the box too!

When I had the box that faced up, I moved it backward and forward and found that it sounded more boomy the farther back I pushed it.... with right behind the seats sounding the most accurate.
YMMV (of course)
Congrats, Mike is a good guy...I've bought like 5 enclosures from him, lol
completely true. I had 2 Kicker 12" L7s on 1800 watts and it was way too loud for such a small car.

2 x 12 will be too much depending on what subwoofer you are using..
2 quality 10" subs will do the job.. shoot even 1.. i didn't notice one of my sub wires were disconnected and i had my amp power 1 sub.. and it was still loud and the quality was great..
2 x 12 on a car with a trunk yeah.. not on a hatch back

I like a lot of sub in my trunk! I had a twin turbo 300ZX back in high school and have a custom box enclosure with 2 15-inch JL Audio W6 which were the top of the line subs until the W7 came out and I had the loudest stereo in the whole town it seemed! (small town tho) But I would love to have a sweet box for 2 12s, hell if I was able to get a box for 2 15s I'd go for it since I still have those 2 15s sitting in my garage, they wouldnt fit behind the seats of my MR2, so I had 2 12s in there.

you can build a sealed enclosure for 2 each 15" they fit sealed

the XXX do real well in 3-4 cubes
there is room to port 1 each 12" xxx
they do well with 2500 watts
the W6 do well with about 500- 750 watts and IMO sealed
xxx is an sql sub and will sound nice
you can buy 2 each w6 for 1 each xxx
either way they really will both sound nice
+1 for great stuff from Mike (Zenclosures)...I'm still enjoying my s-type box w/ Kicke'rs 10" solobaric. (I remove/install it every other week for autoX and track stuff - still looks and feels like new!)
