It's not so much the clearance behind the sub but the airspace requirement also. The flat subs are designed to work in a less than a cubic foot airspace. Meaning you can have an extremely small and flat box yet still be in the optimum airspace range for the sub. With 2 seperate boxes the only advantage you will gain is that it is easire to get bigger airspace boxes in your trunk... another good rule of thumb is ported boxes are always larger than sealed. You will get more "boomy" sound out of a ported box and cleaner sound out of a sealed, but at the same time with sealed you do lose a little bit of the "low end" in most applications. If you want to save space go with a sealed box designed with the proper airspace, if you already have a sealed box like that and dont want to change the subs, you could always go with a custom built box to utilize as much trunk space as possible.
