Default Dual 12" Subs fit in my car?

Just found this deal on 2 12" Kicker subs and an enclosure and was wondering if anyone knows if it would fit inside my trunk? And do I need to buy an amp, or would the built-in deck have enough juice to power these 2 guys?

1. Take a tape measure and go measure your trunk, no be lazy

2. You will NEED another amp to drive 2 12" subs.

The enclosure should fit, though you'll need to be sure that you can live with the limited trunk space, especially if you're a golfer. And as llamaboiz said you'll need another amp, without a doubt.

yes its possible u have the option of building one box out of wood having it sit towards the back of your trunk or build two seperate boxes out of fiberglass and each sitting on the sides of your trunk

Two 12's is overkill in our car especially when we have that ski pass that is perfect place to port through.

I've seen 1 8" sub rattle the heck out of a vehicle to the point that panels were coming off and windshield was flexing off the body of the car... It's all about the box you have built and tuned to the right hertz.
