this what another guy told me...
I used to build at least 1 of those cars a week (on average) for about 3 years. I've done everything from a single 10 to 4 15's to 8 12's in those. I know exactly what is gonna happen if you try fitting as much cone area as possible. You want DISPLACEMENT, not cone area. Often more cone area till have more displacement, but not always. You need breathing room and a properly designed and built box will always reign over more cone area.
If you want loud and big, you need at least a double layer box, no exceptions. That's gonna eat up volume too. I'm still thinking a pair of good 12's in a good box. There's nothing I love more than somebody showing off their big system and getting taken to school by somebody with 1/4 of the equipment.

Not sure what the question is here. But yes I agree, boxes that tend to fill the entire trunk and block off space for the sound to travel to the passenger compartment, they tend to not work so well. There is such a thing as too much.
You dont have to double layer a box. In fact, proper internal bracing will leave you with a more rigid box than simply double layering would, and for less weight/space/money. But depending on the design, most 3/4" wall single thick boxes work just fine.
