I've got a set of JL Audio 10" subs and a HCCA 225 Orion amp and was wondering how can I fit all this stuff in the back, or is it even possible.

I am new to the Mini scene so all suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks.

JL makes a box just for the MINI. Its called a Stealth Box. Go to their site and look for it.

Although it sounds like your set of JL 10" subs with amp are good the problem is you need to fit two subs and one amp into a small boot area and still have either some space or not spend too much on a custom enclosure that again leaves little space.

The JL stealthbox costs more $600 because not only does it take up less space but it is tuned for the MINI by JL so that with only one 10" sub it does a decent job. Also it takes up about 25% of the left side of the boot and can be removed with the help of only two screws removed.

So your amp can be used with the JL stealthbox and placed either on the bottom of the boot floor or mounted onto the right back seat rear surface. See pics of my setup. JL stealthbox on the left and Xtant 4.4 amp on the right. full use of remaining 75% of the boot. with rubber mat below and cargo net.
