15"s in the Hatch well

Is it possible to put 2 15s in the hatch well. I have the electric hatch motor. i have 2 10's back there right now in sealed box that takes up the hole well. If i rebuild just the top panel for 15s will they fit in there?

Depends on the mounting depth and magnet size too. I have 18s back there right now but my kicker CVRs have a really small mounting depth.

The other thing i notice is your box covers the vent to the sparetire well. All of my amps are mounted in there, and with the vent covered they won't get any ventilation possibly causing some overheating and cutting out.

an older JBL PoverValve 1200.1 Monoblock amp, and a RF Power 350.2 and looking to add another 2 channel. I gets hot in there. Thinking of sell the RF cause its way more then i need to power front component speakers. Thinking of a smaller Alpine amp.
