Recommended Internal Volume for a 18" RE Audio SX

[Yung_Chrome]

So i've done my research on the RE Audio SX18D4. its says to use 8 cubic feet per sub(only going to use one). but after using a custom built box generator, i don't believe this is going to be able to sit in my 88 crx trunk =S.

Any suggestions? Thank You
