Sealed in an SUV. 2 15's. Downfiring? Chokin em?

[WOT]

Trying to change my setup around a little, the 17cube box is just way to much and Im looking to get some rear cargo area back and go for a little more sq, 4 15's is a bit overpowering.

What I wanna do is stick 2 of my AQ 2.5 15's in a sealed box running off 1000rms.

Id like to either build an oddshape box to fit over the wheelwell and off to the side, with the subs stacked and facing inwards from the right side. Or build a basic rectangle box. Maybe 4 cubes max, maybe some polyfill?

BUT to retain cargo area with a basic sqaure box, Id like to lift the box off the ground 1.5" or so and have the subs on the bottom of the box firing into the floor? Does that work? Just so I could still put stuff all around the box and not worry about it?

I really just need some help on how the aq's might sound sealed, and in that volume I can give them. And if polyfill would be my friend hear. And if downfiring is the way to go.

Just looking to play more metal music, and hard rock and such, beefing up my midstage aswell

Thanks

Well I mean like for camping or wekend trips, just having to throw bags and camping chairs tent etc ontop that would be cool to stil have that shelf. Better way woulda been to ask if there was any benft to downfiring or side firing or anything with a sealed box...

I really like downfiring enclosures. Just make sure they have enough clearance, I would personally give them around 3 inches and make a low, wide box.

Well ya kinda what im going for is low an wide, 37.5" being as wide as I can fit in the back of my suv

firing them down to the floor affects anythin?

I think you'll be fine. Not quite ideal, but you're going to have twice the cone area and like 1/3 more power. I've always liked downfiring boxes as well, I'll be making one for HT soon.
