You'll definitely get them in if you're clever with the space, but I don't think it'll be using an off the shelf twin box.

I have to ask also why the need for so much low bass?

Unless you listen to slow tempo music like dubstep it will sound very crashy with the 15s as they won't respond quick enough.

A single, quality, 10 or 12 inch will provide lots of bass. Two should sound even more and they will respond better than the 15s while only loosing out on the lowest of notes (maybe the difference between 25 and 30 Hz).

err I'd double check the ratings for those subs and amp as Pyle aren't exactly a premium brand and they won't run a true 1800RMS without blowing the subs skyward.

What alternators and battery’s were you using? Just interested
As to get 2800 watts you need near enough 270 amps to power it/them.

I beat you, I have THREE Phoenix Gold Xmax15 subs laying around. I doubt they'll make it into the Coupe though... maybe one of 'em.

Your best bet is to make an enclosure that fires the subs towards the back seats (leave some breathing space and pop open the ski hatch for max bass) and isolates them from the bootlid and side panels. They're waaaayyy to thin and you'll loose a lot of energy in those panels.

Back when I had two Adire Tempest woofers ported with 1500w rms total in my Alfa 33 (comparable panel thickness) the side panels would flex almost half an inch on the lowest notes. I'm sure that cost me at least 3 or 4 dB.
