I wouldn't go this far, but it all depends on what you are looking to spend on each component. Like I said earlier, you can get a shop to custom fabricate you a box that will take up little enough space in your trunk that it you can still get to spare tire & battery with box in, that has custom vinyl or other fabric on the outside for $400-450. I'm not going to say its better quality than the stealthbox I'm not sure but it will definitely be great quality.
As far as subs and an amp that is all up to you. If you wanted to go with the subs from the stealthbox then you are looking at somewhere between $300-350 for the 12TW6 and $500-650 for the 12w6v3. The amp just depends on how much you want to spend you can spend $150-200 on an amp that can power 1 or even 2 of either of those speakers or you can spend $500-1000 on an amp for the same purpose.
The important takeaway here is essentially JL audio is charging about the same as what it would cost to fabricate a box, but I doubt that you could get a custom fiberglass box fabricated that fits in the side of your trunk the same way the stealthbox does for cheaper than that.
So if going in the side of your trunk like that with a single 12" really appeals to you, (although you can fit 2 10s or 2 12s up against the back of the rear seat and still have all the functionality of your trunk and lose minimal space) then the stealthbox is an option that you can be confident will sound great.
