That's the recommended volume for subs, right? How much volume should I have for 8" 2-ways?

That depends on the brand and model. Each speaker will have it's own recommended volume by the manufacturer.
It will usually say in the instructions of packaging found with new speakers. Used speakers is a different game as you have to look it up on the manufacturer's website.

No problem. It's just one more step that a lot of people miss and end up building a system that doesn't perform to it's potential.
I once bought a used system off of a kid for next to nothing because he bought all this high dollar equipment and wasn't happy with the sound. After buying it all for less than a tenth of what he paid, I found out most of his speakers were out of phase, he had the subs wired in series, and the box was waaaaay to big for the subs.
Point being, if his stereo install shop had done their jobs the kid would have been very happy with that system as the components were top notch.

I kinda like what this guy did with his set-up, it looks like he made it for one 12" woofer and left spots for his amplifer.
Takes up most of the usuable room, but def looks good from the outside.

That looks sweet, but I don't like advertising my stereo equipment to every Tom, Dick and Harry that walks by.

Finally got my sub box built and installed. Sounds awesome. I went weith some 8" subs and a pair of 5x7's. Still have access to my storage doors, but thats about it. Thanks for all the ideas!

First I layered the wheel well and surrounding area with an aluminum foil covered insulation used for heater ducts that I found at Home depot before laying down the layers of resin soaked fiberglass mat. You could just used massive layers of tape and/or heavy duty aluminum foil but I chose the insulation material to add some height to the area to allow for the carpeting, and the foam insulation conformed to the rough textured areas on the body for a smoother backside finish. Once the resin dries, pry out the rough mold, trim to desired shape and glass in your shaped end pieces and add some more layers of fiberglass. Then you glue up your skeleton to hold the speaker ring. We are still playing with the angles for the speaker for these boxes.
