Re: 15inch kicker L7
You would need to take out the back seats and build an enclosure. The rear hatch area does not have enough room to mount them in the back.
...WHY do you need that much bass?
I had 2 10" subs in the back and hit 133db giving the subs just 1cu ft each. (sealed) of air...2 Soundstream Reference SS10R powered by a Reference 500 amp.
That much bass in the car is going to cause a LOT of rattles.
Currently I run a single Image Dynamics IDQ12v3D4 (dual voice coil) it gives plenty of bass and great sound.
Sometimes bigger is not best....go for quality over quantity.

The project is right. You better be willing to support the bass from that sub. I just helped my best friend choose and install his system in his 04 escalade. He changed all his stock co-axial speakers to kicker 08ks series components and and amped them with a kicker zx350.4 amplifier and they just barely cut through the base of the ONE 15" L7 with a zx750.1 amplifier. If you dont upgrade your interior speakers, and use some sort of sound deadening, your car is not only going to rattle like crazy, but its going to sound like ****. Id suggest going with a decent head unit with 3 sets (front, rear, sub) 4v pre amp outs

Re: 15inch kicker L7
I have one in my car i was running it free air but of course it didnt sound good at all if you know how to do some fiberglass work you can fit one int he back by molding it in with the trim of the hatch other then that you only option is to say goodbye to those rear seats i just made a simple sealed box and sat it in the rear seat (who can even fit back there?) for now looks pretty ghetto but gets the job done until I trade it for a 12"
