Default Lightest Sub Box for GS400

What is the lightest subwoofer box I can add to my 1999 GS400? I have 2 12" JL Audio subs and an amp to throw in. I dont want to add too much weight, but want it sealed.

There's no real way to get around it if you're after a sealed box. The minimum would probably be about 50 pounds and that' s using 3/4 inch MDF. Any less and the box will more than likely flex.

Why not a single in a free air/infinite baffle config? You'll save lots of weight...

If you look in the trunk with the stock sub, you'll see the "infinite baffle" method being used. Works well.
