I'll also assume, that since you're asking us, instead of a professional audio install shop, that it's not for a show/competition car - so, are you trying to impress the cheerleaders at your high school? the wal-mart parking lot crowd? **** of the neighbors? or just wanting to notify all the crackheads in town where they can get parts to sell for their next fix?

Anyway overcompensation aside, yeah, they'll "fit". 1.5 cubic feet each in sealed enclosures isn't too bad, but the output from them in sealed is going to be less than a good ported 10", so if you really want to broadcast your presence, you'll want them in ported boxes, which requires 6 cubic feet each. Your trunk is 14.8 cubic feet. So yeah, you can get them in there, and *maybe* have enough space to hold the amplifiers as well.

If you want them to fit in the coupe you have to pull out the spare tire as well as everything along the sides like the plastic that holds the jack and cover the stock amplifier.

check out my profile and check out picz of my old coupe... you'll see for even 2 12" kicker L7's i had to do it. You can get 2 12's in there without removing anything but in a ridiculously small box and it really limits the output.

2 15's i've seen in sedan but never in a coupe.

If you go through with it i'd like to see how it goes

thx, just putting it up there to show that if u go custom, especially with a pair of 15's (mine are 12's) u prolly won't have any room left...And I inverted them mainly cause one got tagged by a tire iron in my trunk in my previous car and had a bad "dent" in it that didn't affect sound any, but made it ugly... Preciate the comments though!

^^^ you still need a box but can get away with a bit smaller enclosure.

You would just want to make sure you use a sealed enclosure...

That works for sealed, but if you're going sealed, you're going to get a lot less out of the subs than a properly ported box, so that kinda defeats the purpose of going big...
