Default Boston Sub help

ok, I just installed a kenwood DNX7140 in my C5 yesterday with Boston speakers front and back. I then went with a Boston G5 High Performance Subwoofer model G512-44 , 12 inch dual 4-ohm

I was planning on getting a stealth box made by one of our forum members but once I gave him the dimensions, he told me the sub is too big for a stealth box.

Here's my prediciment, can someone advise a nice sub with as good or better quality of the Boston sub that I can use in a stealth box? Or what other options do I have to get this mounted on my center cargo area without taking up any additional space in the back. Any thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks Bruce

mount the sub upside down, down firing into the box. the targa still fits right over it.

I am running a 12" subthump stealth box rated at 0.85 CF of airspace and a 6 3/8" mounting depth. After an exhaustive search for subs, I found one that works PERFECTLY with this box.



The sub I went with is a Kicker Solo Classic 09S12C4 DVC rated at 600RMS @ 4 ohms. The sub's requirements are 0.88 of airspace and 6 5/16" mounting depth. This sub dropped right in to the stealth box and fit with no clearance problems.
