Hey guys.
So my current endeavor involves my recent purchase of 2x2011 Kicker L7 15" Subwoofers.
They should be arriving in the mail soon, so I'm starting to plan out where I'm going to install them.
Here's my issue.
I'm driving an '05 Mustang GT Convertible, so my trunk space is very limited.
Here are the specifications of the speakers directly from Kicker's website.

Model Solo-Baric L7 15

Size (IN.,CM) 15, 38.1
Impedance (OHMS) 2 or 4 DVC
Max Rec Amplifier Power (WATTS PEAK/RMS)* 2000/1000
Sensitivity (dB 1w/1m) 89.4
Frequency Response (Hz) 18-100
Mounting Depth (IN.,CM) 8-11/16, 22.1
Mounting Cutout, Square (IN.,CM) 13-3/4, 34.9
Min Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) 1.5, 42.5
Max Rec Sealed Box Volume (CU. FT., Liters) 6.0, 169.9

Min Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 3.0, 85.0
Max Rec Vented Box Volume (CU. Ft., Liters)** 6.0, 169.9


I enlarged the most important information, that the woffers (by my preference) will be installed in a vented enclosure.
Thus, they're going to require a minimum of 3 cubic feet per woofer.

I found these boxes on eBai linkthat will absolutely do the job, but I don't know if they'll fit.
Box dimensions:
Dimensions 16 1/2" Height X 21 1/2" Width X 18" Depth

Why can't I measure it myself you ask?
I just moved to california, and the whip is sitting in my driveway in VA.
I'm arranging to have it shipped as we speak, but I'd love to have this all ready before it gets here.

Please also note, I'm considering removing the back seat cushions and installing them back there, but I'd prefer the trunk if at all possible.

Thanks for the welcome and help in advance everyone!!!!!!!

Make a cardboard box to the exact same specs as the enclosure and find someone with a similar car and see if it fits.
