Default Eu-700 box and under the carpet?

Alright...I am expecting my tC very soon, and I am thinking up plans for a system.
I am getting a Alpine Headunit with a iPod adapter, and that 1-din center channel speaker to fill in the rest of the gap.
Now...question is. I have a amp from my old car, but the two 12" subs I have and the box are way too ____in big. I need new subs pretty much. I saw the eu-700 subs and how hard they hit for how small they are.
Now, is there a box design that goes under the carpet in the back? I cant find anything, and I dont know the dimensions for that little space, because I dont have the car yet.
Is there a box design that will fit under that carpet without sacrificing any space? Also, I am getting probably two-four of the eu-700 subs.

Thanks guys for any info. Would love some pics if anyone has ever done this kinda thing. Thanks again in advance.

build a new cover... otherwise the subs will be hitting the carpet/cover and will rattle against it..

I really want to keep the stock look and not sacrifice any space if possible.
Any other box designs?

Someone on caraudio.com made a box that fit 3 of those bugers inside of the spare tire. It should be easy, use the spare as a mold to make the bottom of the box, cut a piece of 3/4 mdf for the top, glass the two pieces together and voola, stealth box. You could even recess the subs, I think their is enough room, and you could keep your cover.

^^ that may be an idea, as long as there is enough room to keep the subs from hitting the cover when it's layed over top..

Anyway to make a stealth bandpass box for those subs?
I kinda dont want to get rid of my spare, just in case.
I gotta get the car so I can really see what I can do...ugh this sucks.

But yeah, anyone heard of a stealth bandpass box?

Bandpass boxes are generally the LARGEST of any type of enclosure... sealed is the smallest and is the way to go for any type of stealth application....


the spare tire enclosure actually sits INSIDE the spare so you still retain it.. would be a good option...
