For SQ you would want a Qtc of .707...according to that chart, the closest would be 2.0 ft^3 each.

But...since that isn't considered a SQ sub...the 1.0 ft^3 should do you fine.

yea between 1- 1.5 cubit feet per sub. If you want tight hard bass, sealed is the best way to go.

Or you could try buying this box,
perfect sub box link

your not going to have room under the seats for a proper vented box.
