what inside the car? not hurd of anyone doing that b4 you\'d have the problem of securing them and not making your ears bleed from the bass, couldnt you try finding a smaller box like those stealth ones that fit at the sides of the boot

well i could but i currently have 2 12\" running off a 1 monoblock, would i notice much diffrence if i swapped to 1 12\" sub, also i heard you lose alot of sound quality and bass in these stealth boxes is this true?

Build a false floor...... fill ya tyres with that tyre weld and lose ya spare wheel, then have the subs sitting flush in the floor mount the amp in the floor on on one side! then you have lots of space left in the boot simple.............

design a decent install and maximise boot space!

Cost ya £20 at most on materials

Large sheet of 18mm MDF, make a card template of the shape of the boot, cut your MDF to fit looks best in one section but will be easier to do in 2 upto you!

Make sub boxes under this maximise space by using the wheel well when possible then cut wholes for your subs!

etc etc!

Get a pencil sum paper and doodle some diagrams of what would look cool, then think could i build that......... hmmm yeh do this do that and it just goes on from there!

I\'m in process of designing a boot build with 3subs 3amps and still room in boot what a challenge!

Its all the fun of moddin mate...... i couldnt ever go buy a sub box thats been made whats point cost u 3 times as much as making a one of install!
