Gonna be a tight fit especially with your L7's. Might be better off selling those and getting shallow 12's or some decent 8"Jl's.

A 12 of just about any sort is going to be too much for the car, let alone an L7. The trunk lid is just not sturdy enough to contain it all.

I'm coming from a 12 alpine Type R, but i'm now using a JL 8W3 and LOVE it. Nice and compact and more then keeps up with the Type R.

Just my 2 cents.

I had a 15" Square L7 in my Jetta. Bumped pretty decent. Should work with a little elbow grease.

i have looked at theirs but they are only round i need SQUARE and a 12" plus i dont think spending 350$ on a box for a frs is worth it, i had 2 L7s in my 2011 impala LTZ and wow, could be heard a mile away... literally from what i am told, i prolly wont have it turned all the way up jus need some bump, so might as well use it.
