i used to run 2 12's back in the day... now i'm just running one. i'm actually in the process of making a fiberglass enclousure in the spare wheel well.

as far as dimensions go... you usually need about a foot cubed of airspace per sub. i'm sure you could get the actual specs off of crutchfield though

you need 1.25 cubic feet per sub, or 2.5 cft total. this doesnt include how much cft the sub takes up.

or if you want a ported its 2 cft per sub.

go measure your trunk & see how much space you have or want to use up for your box & put the measurements into this site.
