Premade is going to be hard to find. If you're looking for a sealed enclosure, you could modify the box that is listed up in the sticky and drop that 15 right in the middle. At about 2.4 cu ft, that puts you close to the middle of the recommended air space for that sub.

Re: 15" Kicker L5

yeaa, i was either gonna put it in the middle, or maybe to one side and the amp on the other, would the bass be affected if the sub was on one side? or would it sound the same?

Re: 15" Kicker L5

Also take into account the way the hatch is shaped. The middle has the kickout for the hatch pulldown motor. You may have more clearance, which will probably look better off to a side. Best thing to do would be get a piece of cardboard and cut it out how you want the box shaped and then you can get another piece cut out that represents the sub to see how it looks. Also make sure where you mount the sub there is enough depth clearance.

Why a 15" kicker? Have you considered a pair of 12" SI BM mkIII? Same cone space and a lot small box needed.
