Also can some one help me with a box and help me out with an amp choice right now I have a kicker 750.1 zx but i dont think that will power all these subs.

figure out some box dimensions you wanna go with, and how you wanna face the subs, and we'll help you figure out which way to face the ports.
yes, those subs can run in sealed boxes very well. it'll save you a little space, but you've got a huge trunk. We've got 8 10w3v2's ported in my bro's 92 crownVic, on about 3.5-4kW
also, that vehicle is so big and long, and not much pass-through from the trunk. I think going sealed won't be loud enough for most people, so the extra output of a ported box should help a lot.

you could face them all up like that, with a slot port in the middle somewhere. trunk will probably rattle

K I have another question since this is my first box build do I have to make a chamber for each individual sub? Wat are some other ways I could fit these 4 suckers in my trunk?
