With the actual dimensions of the trunk, you'd be bordering on taking up all of the space. Not to mention, I don't think there's a box on the market for two 12s that will fit in the A/C, so you'd almost certainly have to custom fabricate, and even then it would be a tight squeeze.

That's too deep to be a stock coupe trunk. Obviously, the spare and false floor material have been removed. Also, there's not a whole lot of space left. I didn't mean to make it sound like it wasn't possible. If you don't want a trunk, one could definitely get as many as 5 12" subs in there, but there literally wouldn't be ANY space left.

Apple, I think it really depends on what kind of 12"'s they get

1. for average 12" woofers, they usually require about 1.25 - 2 cu ft of space depending on if you go sealed or ported. So if you want two sealed 12"s, and you are willing to build custom fiberglass enclosures for them, I think there is room to have them in there, and still have space left over

but, as apple mentioned, this would involve removing the styrofoam and creating a new, false floor

Why would you get two 12s?

I had dual 10's before and I had my amp turned down to 1/4 power output because it was too much bass.

Quality, not quantity kids!!

He's right 100 times over. I hate these kids at my school who have huge subs that don't sound good. It sounds like the cars going to break from the rattling. Trust me get something that will sound good and you will love it. I had 2 10's in my old car and they sounded amazing, no matter what music you play.

i have 2 12's with just a normal box in the back of my coupe problem is there is not much room in the front of the subs but behind the box there is a decent amount of space
