Help me finalize a sub set up...

currently i have 2 12" boston acoustic g5 subs with 2 12" gtr passive radiators running off a mtx 1501D in the spare tire well firing up. im not satisfied with the spl and want something louder. im thinking about taking them out of the spare tire well and removing my rear strut bar and then make a box where the subs can fire towards the rear of the car, fire them towards the cabin since there is only that metal cross brass between the trunk and cabin, or get the wicked c.a.s enclosures.

my options are either keep the boston 12s and get rid of the radiators or go with ssa icon or fi car audio bl 10s ported. i will list 2 options in the poll for each as one will be for firing towards the cabin and the other will be firing towards the rear. btw, im also thinking about upgrading my amp if i get 2 10s, maybe a 2-3000 watt amp. currently, my bostons are overpowered since they only handle 450watts rms (if i listen to them at full volume the fuse eventually blows on the sub). im looking to create a really custom and unique trunk, install ideas would also be appreciated!

here is what my set up looks like right now...

Didn't we already try to help you with this decision a few months ago?

yeah but ive changed my mind about the 12w7. this week im taking my car to the stereo shop to have things redone, so i really need to decide between 2 10s ported or 2 12s sealed. i dont want to keep changing things and want this to be my final set up. im trying to see if anyone here has experience with 2 10s ported or 2 12s sealed, i dont want to take up my whole trunk and add a ton of weight, so im trying to come up with something with a moderate size which is why i didnt list 2 12s ported. i do need to know which direction to face the subs is best: front, rear, or like the wicked enclosure. also, i need some ideas on creating a totally custom trunk that would be good for car shows or a magazine feature.
