How to get enclosure into trunk

Hey

2010 sport with spoiler and no spare (if that matters)
I have tried searching but couldnt find exactly what I was looking for, maybe I just dont know what exactly to search, so thats my bad.

My brother has an MTX sub + amp combo laying around
(I believe this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-FVCLdpi...s-Package.html )
He wouldnt mind shipping it to me as long as I pay the shipping
Before I do that though, I have figured it should fit in the trunk once in, but I was wondering how Id get it in. The opening for the trunk seems too small

28-1/8"W
12-15/16"H
13-1/8"D1 x 9-3/4"D2

From anybodies experience, will this fit through the opening? I know that there are braces behind the back seats that Id rather not mess with

Second question: If it would not fit in, do these premade custom enclosures fit through the opening? (If anybody knows by chance) and are they any good?
example: http://www.zenclosures.com/Mazda_RX8..._Box_p/rx8.htm

Thanks

you can mock up the sub enclosure out of cardboard to see if you can get it in.

if you search around here you'll find lots of people have used zenclosures and other options.

You may also be able to disassemble the enclosure and reassemble it in the boot/trunk. The Boot/trunk is a nice big size but the opening is rather compact

I really don't mean to sound rude, but that equipment isn't even worth shipping. I used to sell that combo package a few years ago. It was $150. I've installed several of them too. You're wasting your money and trunk space.
