The trunkspace on these cars is limited to say the least as it is, so if you want to add some bass without losing it your best option is likely the spare-tire sub design. Anything that 'folds down' is going to be in the way. You don't have much height to start with, and you'll likely be taking up at least a third of it with whatever folds down.
That being said, you need to really figure out the airspace requirements of the subs you want. 'Slim subs' doesn't mean they'll fit anywhere, they typically just use slim but longer boxes to satisfy the requirements. This would be good for custom fiberglass enclosures on the left and right side of the trunk, letting you maintain the center for use. Then again, that's not going to fold anywhere, it's going to be installed, so a much different approach. It also wouldn't satisfy the airspace 10's need behind them without sticking into the loading area a bit, so you'd probably be downsizing.
Soundman's experience is a true testament to the fitment issues you'll have. Bear in mind he was going to use the whole trunk as his enclosure rather than trying to fit another one, and still it was going to be in the way. 10's are no easy ask in these cars, they need air.
Mock up what you have in mind with cardboard, see how it functions, check if it gets you the airspace you need for the subs, and go from there. It will give you a 10000% better idea of what you're going to get without costing any money or destroying anything.
