Take the back seats out and put the subs in that way.

You can't get it in through the back. (Nice try 9k. LOLOL)

You buy this box. That's how.

As far as I've seen, the ZenClosures box that firebirdude linked is the only dual 12 compatible box for our cars simply because our trunk opening is so tiny. However, there is not much air space in the box, only 1.50 cu.ft. in total, so make sure that the subs don't need much more than that.

Since that enclosure is so small would it sound similar to have one 12" pointed inward and a slightly bigger box (2/3 the size of that box). I'm trying to figure out the best setup that would give me a little more room so I can fit my snowboard partially through the trunk with one seat down

Zenenclosures sells a half version of that box too. Looks exactly the same, just cut in half. Donno if it completely covers up the pass through though. Check out the other options in the FAQ. Wickedcas boxes for example.

You could always mount the subs inverted and gain a little airspace. Just a thought.

How can I tell if a Rockford Fosgate P3 would fit in that Zen Enclosures box?

Zen lists their mounting depth as 8.5". Fosgate lists the P3 12" at 6.66". So there ya go.

I am leaning towards getting the zen enclosures. I've been weighing the pro's and con's of throwing either 2 10's or 2 12's. Cost is not an issue. I was thinking 10's to reduce the possible rattle and the fact there already isn't much air space in the box. 12's would just take up more, but would they still sound better? Also as a side note I scrapped the idea of leaving room for a snowboard. I want some bump

Meh. I'm willing to bet money that, though the 12"s will physically take up more space in the box, they'll be louder all around. As for "sound quality", they're subwoofers. While it's possible to create some funky peaky bass, you'll be using a sealed box. Naturally a pretty smooth response curve regardless of other variables. Bandpass boxes or poorly designed ported boxes can get a little dicey.
