I realize this may not be the answer you are looking for but what about getting a complete Shaker 500 sound system from a wrecked vert / coupe and use that? I have the Shaker 500 system and it rocks better than my Clarion CD/MP3 tuner attatched to an Infinity 300 Watt amp and Fosgate 10" woofers in truck boxes that is installed in my '96 Bronco. Just an idea to save on space.

the box is a q-logic from crutchfield. its strapped in the back of the box to the floor in the trunk,the box fits great,sounds incredible it can be ported or sealed just by removing 4 screws to change the baffel.the trunk space is soooo small mine has 2 amps, cap,and my batt no room for a decent size box

It's not an 05, but you could use this same concept: 1992 Convertible hidden enclosures

I don't like to loose the entire trunk, nor would I sacrifice the rear seat.

The best thing for subs in a vert is to stick them in the cabin somewhere...maybe replace the front door speakers with some 8 inch subs or put a rear seat eliminator and have some custom subs on that...who wants ppl in the back seat of your mustang anyway...I know I don't, especially being convertible....
