Default Need help with 2011 Suburban sub woofer box

Hello all. I have a question about sub woofer box placement. I can't use any trunk or under seats space for the box, bc it's a working vehicle and I need all trunk space to be available. The only place I think it can work is little compartment in the trunk on left( driver) side with pool out door. I'm thinking to cut the inside off and build the box in that space for 10" shallow sub. If anybody done that or what do you think, can it work?

There are 2 options. both are expensive.

Car Audio - Stealthbox® - Chevrolet - Suburban

and I don't see how placing 2 large subs right next to a large piece of glass can possibly be a good idea, but there is it...

The wheel well compartments are your best bet, if you don't have the rear AC you will also have the other side as an option...

Thank you, I know about this 2 options, JL asking crazy money for center console and box by the glass is stupid. I don't want to spend a lot of money, b.c I will have this truck for 3 more years tops, then I have to buy new one. I will do it my self this weekend even tho I never work with fiberglass, I hope it will be fun.
