If your going to do it, do it right.....
Custom fiberglass enclosure with a JL 12w7. 1.325 ft^2 of airspace measured with water. Takes up practically no space in the trunk....Im actually in the middle of this install and im waiting on some dynamat, CCF, and some mass loaded vinyl barrier....ill post completed pics when done in about a week (im doing so many other projects at the same time)
Sorry about quality of pics, taken with cell phone (HTC Incredible)

It's well worth the time and effort.....Sealed enclosure with awesome sound, factory-like appearance, AND I get to keep 90% of my trunk space along with a spare tire if I need it(which i personally don't which is where carputer is going. 500/1 and 300/4 are going above gas tank all hidden behind false wall).

I'm probably going to buy a DLS OA10. Heard some good things about it.
However, I am willing to pay you to make me the same exact dimension fibre glass box. Let me know we can work something out on paypal or something. I'm good with wood just never used fibre glass.

Great job on the fiberglass. What's funny is that I was going to just going build a box in that location next week. I had already built an amp rack that's flush in the side of my trunk(fufumofutt's design), I was just going to modify it with a box behind it.

There's not enough room inside that panel to build a wood box, you just cant get the wood to contour like the glass. It has to be all fiberglass for the the inner part, but you can have a flat wood face if you want instead of the glass like I made it. If your serious about an enclosure, PM me.
I guess I won't try that wood enclosure this week. Come to remember it, your right there is no room back there.
The SC is a such a limited car for audio systems. I'm used to just designed a big ported box to manufacturer spec and just throwing in my trunk. Not really an option for me if I still want to play golf lol.

Are you talking about this sub?
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...-SW1001S2.html
This is the one I purchased hoping it would fit in the stock location. Since the magnet does not taper in like most other subs it makes it difficult to install in the stock 10" location. If you were able to install this sub there please let me know how you did it. The only way I can see doing it is to either dremel the stock sub location or to mount the sub higher up and not hidden under the stock speaker grille.
Oh and how does it sound? Thanks.

Some of these setups are nice. I went with the idea of hiding everything under the rear deck on top of the gas tank and just putting in a big box in the trunk. I like the way it sounds, but when you crank it, the deck lid rattles or speaker covers. I am using Alumapro 600 watt amp amp and 4 (8) inch sub in a sealed enclosure. Sounds very good for the money and effort I spent. If I can just get the rattling to stop, I would be 100% happy with it!
I completely removed the stock sub itself and using that whole as a port for sound to get into the cabin.
