Default C5 Stealth box Design

I'm looking to add either 1 good sub or two smaller subs in my C5. I haven't decided yet if I want to make a standard box and have them sitting behind the seats, or if I should utilize the cargo box under the hatch.

JL Audio makes an amazing stealth box for a 10" W3 and I was wondering if anyone has made their own or has some dimensions for a 12" sub.

I'm a kicker guy, and I have used several L7's in the past, both 12" and 10", but the mounting depth on those are huge.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Pictures if you have some, I'm more of a visual guy.

you dont really want to use a 12 in a stealth box
there really is not many options for a good 12 that will fit

We have the stealth boxes ready to ship in 10 and 12 inch for 59.99

You are my hero!

OMG, you are my double hero!
The mounting depth is 5.5 inches, I'll have to look and see if I can get some 10"s that will fix.

I know the JL's i'm looking at are 5 3/4" mounting depth and the kicker's are more than the 5.5".

get a 12" flush box.

you will have way more sub choices due to the limited mounting depth of the stealth box.

I've considered getting a flush box for a 10" and fiber glassing the top of it up so I can fit a 12" in it.
