A... "confining" dilema

[killdevil fox 10+ year member]

I am getting my first sub ever. After shopping around I think I found the best one for the buck. A reputable dealer on Ebay is offering roughly $250 for a brand new Cerwin Vega stroker competition sub. It's 15" with 2000W RMS and 4000W peak with a dual 2 ohm vc. However, I am told by local dealers that housing will be an issue. They say an optimal housing for that would need to be 5cf., and all I drive is a 90' Nissan 300zx (registered as sub-compact). If you haven't seen one google it up and you will see what I mean. I need a way to put this elephant in there but keep it as roomy, clean looking, and concealed as possible. Are there any accoustics experts that can suggest some housing SHAPES that could amplify sound with a small space? or a placement that can make the car itself the resonating body(I plan to use padding to quiet any rattling fenders)?
