I have a box that works perfect. Holds 2 12's, sealed. It is pyramid shaped. It takes up 90% of the bottom but leaves room on both sides to put stuff like shirts, towels etc and the top acts perfect as a shelf so you can pop the glass and grab stuff off the top. Is raining right now or I'd get you a pic.

Usually I just pop one of the rear seats up and plug in my Kicker L7 in its big *** ported box But when I need more seats, I throw the other box in.

I like the hairy legs. LOL J/K.

I forgot how small the space behind the 3rd row is in those. I have like 3-3.5 feet.

looks pretty good. it seems smaller than what i had inmine though. what the measurements on that? the one i have measure up is perfect for my 12's i have now and will work for great fo 12w6's and with polly fill would even fit 12w7's but those cost alot. thanks for pics. do you have a way to hold it still back there? oh yeah is 299 a good price for a kicker 1200 watt class d amp?

so if i built it square the sub would be closer to the rear hatch at the top then the bottom. is that going to affect the way it sounds? as in will it direct the bass in a funny way or will it sound just as good?

It will sound just as good, but keep the sub at least 2" away from the hatch. I could design an extremely hard hitting box and send it to you, but I dont know how good you are with odd box building. It would have to be near perfect cuts and joints.

You got that one backwards. For big deep bass you want ports, for punchy bass like rock you want sealed.

I grew up designing and building competition boxes for Pro Sound. Sealed makes deep, ported makes punchy. You get lower HZ in sealed. Thats why most bass competitions you hardly ever see ported. There are exeptions to the rule though, like bandpass and such.
