I know a lot of the boxes I have seen in the spare tire area are using the JL slim sub "not a fan" and some are ported "not good for SQ" I will try to think of something for you.

Ever think of tint for your back windows?
Thanks for thinking about it - hopefully it's an interesting problem. I wonder if I could do 2-3 8" subs or something like that. It's interesting that you don't like the JL slim.

I know what you mean on dynamat. To me, the car won't ever sound great without 100 extra lbs of sound dampening. My goal is for it to sound undistorted at decent volume with the windows down at highway speed. Even in that environment, I have my audiophile tendencies - I don't need perfect imaging (obviously), but crappy ported Kicker noise is just not what I will be happy with.

Tinting the windows could work... I was hoping to leave cargo room open for the occasional trip, but that might be the best route...
