New System, front facing sealed off trunk, or rear facing? 1 or 2 subs?

[arrogant]

Exactly what the title says. My car does not have seats that fold down and from what I have heard is hard to get air to pass through to the cabin from the trunk. To remedy this I have already removed the stock 10" woofer from the rear deck. Now the question is, do I seal off the trunk and have a box ported through the hole in the rear deck, or do I just have traditional rear facing subs and allow the air to still escape through that hole? Also, I will be getting Jl subs, and space is somewhat of a concern as I still want to use my spare tire. So the question is purely from a SPL standpoint which of the following scenarios would be best?

1 JL 12w6v3 with sealed trunk ported through hole in rear deck running off 500W.

2 JL 12W3v3 with sealed trunk ported through hole in rear deck running off 1000W.

2 JL 12W3v3 firing towards the rear in a traditional slot ported box running off 1000W.

My goals are as follows:

SPL as in I want to hear the bass both in the cabin and I want someone 2 blocks away to hear it as well

Clean install with minimal amount of gear showing

usability of my spare tire and at least a decent amount of the trunk

Those three options are the only ones I am considering at this point. Any opinions??

are you considering a 10" aero port that matches up with the factory sub opening?

Hey, I am not really sure what that is exactly. The idea of sealing off the trunk and porting through the factory sub hole was given to me by the car audio shop as they felt it would be hard to get air moving to the cabin without doing that. What exactly an areo port is, I do not know.
