no, spare tire has to go, you want a good box not a small box with little airspace
you can do one 13w7 ported box itll bump hard!!!! itll sound better then 2 12s sealed

It could fit.

The drawback would be staring at the sub as soon as you open the trunk and not having room for anything else.

Get a pair of 8w7s, maybe glass them into the sides 4080 style.

Yeah that would probably work.

I'm kind of wary of people that start out by saying "I need a JL 13w7"
Not that it's a bad choice, but just because most people don't have a reason or don't understand what they'd be buying.

no offense to OP

You'd be better off with 2 12W6V2's. The W7's magnets are super huge and would require you to loose all your trunk space. I have 2 12W6V2's in a custom enclosure. No spare tire eithe

And it would erase credit cards in your back seat passengers' pockets

I mean, you could do a couple 10w6v2s without losing much trunk space or spare tire...
but now we've digressed into just throwing out different configurations that we'd like better

i don't thinlk you can fit two 13w7 in your trunk, if you was to take out two 13w7 out the box they are huge.I did plan on getting two in my coup but like I said after getting the sub out the box I saw that It will be impossible.I could get two in the trunk,but it will be really tight plus the box will have to be smaller which reduces the airspace in the box equal ****ty sound.so I went with one 13w7 with a box built to spec.one box built to spec will sound alot better than two 13w7 that has a ****ty box..and you will lose the spare in the trunk..I had mine custom made but it will give you an idea of how much room I have left and how big the box is..here are some pic..

Yup, got one here that fits real snug without removing the spare. But I also feel like it takes a good amount of room.

You need to tell them how to spell "Infiniti" without a Y

... and they couldn't find the parts to do a JDM bezel install?
/rant

Otherwise, looks good. How do those Focals sound?
