Default Custom subwoofer box to replace factory Bose box

Looking for a custom box to replace the stock Bose box in my '03 C4S coupe. I've seen a few different versions, but am looking for thoughts/experiences on any that have been installed. Something similar to this but for 10": http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-996-...p2047675.l2557

I'd like to use JL audio 10" as I've always had good experience with them in the past. I'm considering the new JL Stealthbox with the 2 13.5" W5s but it seems a bit overkill for this car.

A custom box similar to the stealthbox but with room for 2 10" would be ideal.

I would still be interesting in this I think. If it's the right 10" sub I think that would be plenty. What type of sub are you using?

Also, the 3-way components will be next -- what speakers are you using for this?

I will be using a German audio company called ground Zero for the subs and the 3 way components. The sub is a sound quality sub it doesn't have crazy low end output, but blends well with components. He doesn't like heavy bass at all. The sub model Uranium gzuw 10sq.

The components model are the GZPC 16.3SQ plutonium 3 way active. these are very high end components are on the level of focal utopia components.

The amps will be Italian company Mosconi. He will be using 3 of the Mosconi Gladen one amps and the Mosconi 6to8 DSP. This is will be a high-end audiophile build for sure fully active.

You would have to make a custom box to fit in that area. You cant just throw a sub in there. It will sound like crap.
