4th order blowthru or just perch something on the backseat like most...
L7-12's like airspace.
5ft3 net is a good volume to start...

Jamming 2 L7-12's underseat is a project that probably won't turn out well.

I'd remove the rear seat and just do a big ported box.

Is that 5 cubes for 1 sub or 5 for both

Both. And minimum of five cubes. I'd go bigger.

Are you hell-bent on L7's? I'd equate them to Kaepernick: they're decent, but they don't live up to the hype, and they can't take any abuse.

Ok do you think it is worth the money to have a box made for the L7 or get better subs for what I’m looking for

No I found out the hard way the money I got in my 2 subs and amp is a lot for what I got

I've own an 8, a 12, and a 15 L7. I liked the 12, but none of them were very impressive compared to the current market selection.

I agree a buddy of mine got 2 DC 15’s on a 8K for about 1500 and his is 100 times louder than mineI understand he’s got a lot more power and money wrapped up and alternator batteries and wire but for subs and amp comparison his is way better

Another downside is you can't use many other subs in the same box.
