Take 1132, 566, 283 and divide it by the distance from the woofer to the reflective surface and there's your basic standing wave frequencies. It would be better if they had angled the drivers up. It eliminates the parallel baffles and would make the tops of the boxes not stick out so far.

Hack installer eh?..
They can still sound good in a "show" install.....will they get as loud as they could in a more "traditional" install....maybe, maybe not.....
Facing each other like this, they still pressurize the same airspace at the same time (wired in phase) and if there is a clear path into the passenger compartment you should get decent sound. Wiring them out of phase will serve no purpose here, doing it with the subs in an isobaric configuration (sharing airspace) works because the drivers are coupled directly together and can take advantage of that configuration.

In an isobaric setup, it works best when in a clamshell setup with one speaker not even in the box and wired out of phase with the other sub... U can use half the size of enclosure, gaining very minimal distortion, and it hits the lows real low.. Great for sq, but output is equal to one subwoofer

as everyone said. your not gonna get much out of that set up anyways. the trunk is sealed off so not much of them bass waves are gonna make it into the cabin anyways. really nice work though.
to answer the original question. even if they did induce distortion into each other your not gonna hear it. pointing subs partialy at each other can be a good thing though. such is the almighty clamshell
