The box I have is custom designed prior to Zenclosures, so I cannot make direct comparisons. As long as you don't do what I did, which was use lots of masking tape to do measurements and whatnot, you should be fine with the carpeting in general.
Underneath the box, it does not eat up the entire trunk space. The sides are free to hide wires. I routed power to one side, and audio on the opposite side to minimize interference. I routed wiring to the rear through the center console. Again, audio on one side and battery power on the other. The grounding wire was connected to one of the bolts in the trunk area keeping it short.
Right now the NINE.2 is bridged to the sub, and it is rated for 400x1 at 4 ohm. I don't bump my music that hard, but it's plenty of power. With my 350Z, I was pushing 150W to a 10W3 with no problems. However, stepping up to 400W delivered cleaner and more punchy bass at similar volume levels.
For the next setup, I may move to the single 12" upfire box and switch to a single Class-D 4/3/2 amp to power the front speakers and sub. It's nothing too wild, but with the sub right behind my ears I'm pretty sure I can enjoy bass at comfortable listening levels.
