Which Sub(s) for 1cu3 internal & 6" depth?

I've attached a screenshot of my boxnotes.
My exterior dimensions with .5" plywood comes out to 1cu.ft. internal.
Probably .92cu.ft. after sub & bracing are installed.

I'll be building two of these boxes for a very particular under-carriage truck application. Firing up through the front floorboards via vented holes.
Depth isn't very much. ~6" depth.
While width is 9" and length is 45".

It will be for an open-air truck.
Tons of digital amp power, whatever I need.

I listen to hard rock and newer jazz.
So I want tight, loud, hard hitting bass.
Which means I'd really like extension to 30hz if possible, but I don't expect it in an open air vehicle with tiny open air enclosure.

Again, it'll be two enclosures.
One under each floor board (passenger & driver).
Each with 1cu.ft. internal before sub/bracing.
With open-air, I don't want anything visible inside the cab.
Think of a Jeep without a top.

Vented holes in floor like a mesh or are you cutting holes?

Will it need to survive rain or fair weather vehicle?
Yep, my thinking is a mesh type setup to retain as much floorboard strength as possible.
It will need to survive outdoor life. No garage.
The truck has a soft-top so rain is not an issue in the interior, which will be carpeted.
And I was thinking of painting the undercarriage enclosure first with all-weather sealer and then truck-bed coating.
Then silicone around the face to ensure a tight seal into the cabin and to keep moisture away from the face of the driver.
