Yep, no problem. I've got a 15" Adire Brahma in the trunk right now, it's freakin huge but I had no problem getting the box in (back when I had a box) and an even easier time putting it into a custom setup. Your main concern isn't getting the sub into the car, it's the enclosure the sub requires.

i have had a 15" solobaric L5 in a ported box in my 2 door before...it took the entire center lineup of my trunk and i had to remove my flat cardboard piece in order to fit it in my trunk and remove it. if you want a pic, just lmk

im sure you could fit 2 15" subs in a sealed box in the civic 2 door trunk. but what good is more subs without the right enclosure eh

yes. your box will be a little spacious though. if you want to save space, drop your spare tire and do a setup in the hole.

Good Idea but your gonna have to make a false floor to raise it a few inches cuz I couldnt fit 12"s in the spare tire well since it wasnt deep enough.

my magnet depth was like 6 1/2" and it wouldnt sit low enough. It all depends on the size of the magnet, its cool to do but im just saying you might have to raise the floor depending on the magnet size

most subwoofers have the same size magnet/motor from all sizes 10''-18'' the basket might be bigger to fit the cone so it might be a little more depth to it.

Wall It

Are you talking about a solobarric mag? I agree you might have to raise the floor depending on mag size but as far as a 15" solobarric L5,L7 you should be ok....
