Sub Ideas
Most often stealth = wimpy sound subs firing towards the top of the trunk just suck....You can raise the floor for the stealth install, but you will not be hitting high DB;s doing that...If you just want an OK system then you will be fine...
Here is mine....Not Stealthy.....

Wimpy is fine. Most of the music I listen to doesn't have like super-low-bass tracks or anything. I just need something to bring the low end up a bit, and my trunk space is VERY important to me. I guess most people around here are more concerned with being able to vibrate their trunks off than I am

Then in that case you could do two things...One raise the floor and sink 2 12"s of a single 10 what ever you want...You would have to raise the floor about 3 inchs, most of the time bring it level with the opening of the trunk...
Or if I were you I put put a single 12 in a sealed box and just push it up to the seats, firing towards the tail lights....You will still have lots of room and then you can mount your amp either on the back of the seats or on the box itself. A single 12 or 10 will get you a nice bump if you are just trying to round out the sound....

If you're really hard up for space, you can seal the back seat and bsck deck and throw an infinite baffle sub in(free air) they are a long forgetten way to deal with no space. Or make a real small box and use some AP mat on the back side http://www.usdaudio.com/usd/products.html

But yeah, yours is pretty nice. I'm actually thinking I may do something like that in an easy to remove (read: easy for ME to remove. will require locks of some sort) box mounted right up next to the seats. In my civic it was bolted to the freakin botton of the trunk, so there was no moving that bastard.
I'm starting to think maybe I'll try to sell my 12's and just get a couple 10's and build little side boxes similar to illusions 2nd setup.
Thanks for all the responses, guys. I'll take pics when I decide on something
run a search under my user name for "sub" or "sub box"... something like that... I believe the thread name was "just got my box installed"... there is how i did mine and it looked great... pretty custom and was almost a 2 cube box without the fiberglass...

You do not want to install the subs like illusion HAD them because they will cancel each other out....any good installer would advise you against it....
You might also look at some of JL's stuff...A little pricey but they make some nice setups that will flow perfect in the corner of your trunk and will not take up much space....But Like I said it carries a nice price...
