Best sping/shock setup for heavy sub box?

Will be putting my JL Audio 500/1 Mono block and 2-12" subs in the back of my 96 Formula. Well, as soon as my son gives them back....
I'm worried about the weight back there squating the car. Any ideas to limit the squat?

My idea, dont put a full sytem in an f-body . IMO why not just do a suttle stealth box in place of the factory sub and you wont have to sacrafice performance for subs...but thats just my two cents.

My car only has the 4 speaker system
The PO did put the door panels for the components and put Infinity speakers up there, but there is NO bass, at all.

I've got components F & R with a JL Audio12" stealth in the left rear all driven by a JL Audio 6 channel. I drive the whole set up with a stock monsoon head unit. It sounds killer with tons of bass. Better yet, the entire system is nearly invisable.

You can't steal what you can't see.

Exactly as i recommended. But he said he doesnt have the stock sub so he is kind of SoL. Unless you can still do a stealth box even though a sub wasnt stock...
