I believe he wants to do something like this:

but pretend "firing to the passenger side" was replaced with "firing behind the passenger seat through a large hole"

Just wanted to follow up.
I used this speaker in the sealed box for a few weeks in the miata. I was never really happy with the performace of the speaker/box/car combo. It sounded just ok with the hardtop on, a little better with the doors open, but when you were underway the bass just wasn't there. Take the hardtop off and I give up even hearing the speaker. Needless to say, I was unhappy, dissapointed and even embarrased to show my coworkers/friends. All that money time for a sub amp combo and it just kinda sucked.
So I fired up my Winisd and decided to spec out a ported box. THE BEST IDEA EVAR.
I had to sacrafice the spare tire to get the box to fit, but I fabbed up a 1.18 cubic foot box, threw a 3" diamerter aero port 17 inches into the box, and fired the sub forward with the port firing to the pass side. Tuned to 29/30hz.
It rocks, top up/down, windows up/down it does not matter. This sounds soo much better. I was able to turn my gains down and get even more sound then was ever possable with the sealed box.
Now I can bump in public and not be embarrased.

anyone ever considered mounting shallow subwoofers behind the seats? or is this not optimal?
nice pictars brain, does the 12 handle the double kick pedal of slipknots bass drums well or does it kind of roll through them?

I ran a Crunch 12" on a Pioneer 500 watt amp. Chose it for the price and decent quality. And with minimal preparation, I got it to sound great, as well as LOUD. My right ear still suffers when noises get too intense.

Thats exactly what mine is only I attached some stilts and turned the box upside down so the sub fires into the trunk floor. Sounds 10089238094829x better firing into the more solid trunk floor than the flimsy trunk lid.
