I have a 2000 SLE Convertible, and my sub has blown...(who'd a thunk it?). Anyway, I am in the process of replacing the entire JBL junk. I have a new hu and front and rear speakers on the way. I have been thinking of what I want to do with the amps and sub. I don't want a lot of bass, so I just want one, and I don't want to take up any trunk space, so I was going to try to mount a sub right behind the rear seat. Any ideas? The sub that I am looking at is suited for free air use, so I don't need a box, but I am racking my brain to come up with a good way to mount this thing. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_2067C104/Kicker-Comp-07C104.html?tp=111 That is the sub that I think that I want to get. Let me know what you guys think.

if you run that sub with out a box your going to be very unhappy with the results believe me ive done it and your amp will get hot due to not enough resistance so my suggestion is a speaker made by pioneer witch requires alot less space which requires a much smaller box here is a link.i had the same concern about space with my system so this is what i found this is what i have in my car and am very happy with it i can post pics if you like http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... /TS-SW841D http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... Subwoofers

i would just get something simple and easy
Infinity Basslink or something similar. Comes with an integrated amp, its small and it only does 200w RMS ( not much bass but enough to notice ).

I would love to see some pics if you wouldn't mind. I am prolly going to build a custom box then. perhaps that will fit in one of the back corner's of the trunk.

ill get some up by tomorrow morning

Okay, here it is. It has been quite a long process but here are the pics of what I got. Pioneer DEH-P6000UB head unit, Kenwoods for front speakers, and kickers for the small 3-1/2" speakers in the rear quarters. Then for the amp, I went with a Pioneer GM-5400T, powering two 10" Pioneer TS-252R's. I made a custom sub box with an angled amp rack in the middle. I didn't think that I did too bad, considering this was my first box. Check out the pics below...

well i see two and no trunk space and thats got to be loud LOL!! it looks nice i totally forgot to post pics of my setup but i like what you have done

Thanks, I worked really hard on this. It had been a while since I had done any car audio work, but I seemed to remember just fine. I had a great time.

Mine has blown for the 3rd time. I believe it is 8"..I saw plenty of 8" woofs online. I'm not lookin tho blow the roof off. I just want one that fits in current box. The Conv trunk is small enough as is...gotta fit he cooler and chairs.
