Default Subwoofer Location

I recently bought 2 12" subwoofers and an amp with new speakers for my sound system. I have the amp and the subs in the trunk. The speakers are great, the sub is the problem. I have it in my trunk and all it does really is rattle my trunk. Some bass gets to the cabin but not as much as it should be. I was wondering if I should get some smaller ones to replace the factory subs behind the rear seat or just connect my amp to the factory subs i have now, or what i could do to fix this issue. BTW, keep in mind i am a serious bass lover, just not in my trunk .

you have an offset 6x9 hole on the parcel shelf for a single sub, my answer was to look at a square kicker and to make an adaptor out of m.d.f.
other than looking at a best 6x9 driver, you would be looking at taking the rear screen out to cut another hole in the parcel shelf, and probably remove the petrol tank too, as its all a bit of a close fit around and under that area, no small job then.....this for speakers in cabin.
or monster drivers in the boot.....

If I was to simply replace the 6x9 subs (sounds a lot easier), can i expect a good bass line from that with my amp and if so, what sub should i go after?
