Anyone considering adding aftermarket subwoofers?

Just decided to go with this 13.5 inch w5 from the 10in tw3. It will be powered with a audio control L.800 so that should give it plenty of power. Hoping this sub gives me the bass I desire. 10inch sounded great with some songs but in general needed more. If someone wants to buy a barely used 10inch tw3 feel free to message me.
New Explorer ST owner here. I had a JL Audio CP112-W0v3 BassWedge pulled out from my 2018 Accord (trade-in) and intend to have it installed to the Explorer. Scheduled an install in a couple of days so I'm hoping to gather some insight before the appointment. By no means am I an expert on installs so bear with me here.
At this point in my life, I am looking to retain as much cargo space as possible so ideally I'd like to have it installed into the stock sub location. Having the thump is nice and while some would even say necessary, it got to be a real eye sore seeing the sub sit in my trunk and having to place things around it whenever I found myself loading up the trunk for any reason.
Can anyone tell me if this JL model will fit in the stock location and if it is a feasible request to ask the installer to put it there? Or would buying a completely new sub to satisfy my desire for maximum cargo space and untampered aesthetics be the way to go? Another thing to consider is that sub was likely designed and optimized to work with that specific box, so is there a chance fitting it any other way will yield optimal sound? My budget isn't much of a concern, but I would like to make the smartest choice out of any that anyone can present.
