I'm no English major but yea maybe someone can get you some help on the spelling and sentence structure.

The mags are designed for sealed only applications, so that will rule our your ported idea. I believe the recommended enclosure size is 0.8 - 1 cubic feet sealed PER 12" mag. I believe Nick tested a single mag in a 0.5 ft^3 box with polyfill and it sounded good too. With a 1.6 - 2 ft^3 box for both of your mags you should still have some room in the trunk, you can use the rest of the room and get creative on where the amps and such are mounted and make it look killer.

I am not 100% sure on the exact dimensions of the new mag but the mounting depth is 5.5" and then leave another 1-2+ inches for the pole vent. Then you can go by your maximum width and height that your trunk will allow.

You know the Mags are dual 2 ohm subs right? So with two of them, you can only get 2 or .5 from the amp. How much does the Hifonics do at 2 ohms?

also, I have a 95 Mustang. The 95s and 01s should have the exact same trunk space so your car should easily fit a 2ft^3 box. My first set up was a pair of JL 12w6 v1s in a sealed enclosure with each sub getting a little less then 1ft^3 each in their own chambers. I still have that enclosure lying around somewhere, so if I ever get two Mags, I would be set. Anyway, that box is about 23x13x13 (outside dim).

As previously mentioned, the new Mag's are designed for sealed 1 ft^3 enclosures only. You should be able to fit an enclosure that is 1.6-2 ft^3 in the back of that Mustang pretty easily.
