I would put those in 3.5-4 cubes tuned to 32-36 HZ with an aeroport firing to the passenger side. Single 6 inch round or dual 4 inchers depending on how it all works out during designing. You could also do a forward firing slot port in the center of the box with the subs on either side. You could side fire a slot port, or downfire the subs and port. The world is your oyster after you figure out air space and port tuning.

On a sealed sub box if I faced the subs up, I lost quite a bit of bass. Faced them forward, they worked great.
On a ported box with subs and port on the face, up or forward did not make a difference. Only reason I face them forward is to prevent something from falling in the port.
