I have a Sony Xplod 10", it is the perfect amount of thump without being obnoxious and annoying. I used to run two 12" subs, thinking it was the right ratio of bass to treble. No. No. No.
This is a 12" a dual VC MBQuart in a 1 cubic ft box. I have a separate bass gain so I can control for the music I'm listening to. down for "Too Short" and more for AC/DC I think I still have the drawing how I built it if you want. There are more pics in my gallery if interested. I also live in Kent,wa so if you want I could always meet up somewhere to get a better look and listen.
I have a 10" MTX in my trunk as well. It takes up about half, I need to get a better box that I can wedge underneath the little bulge on the side. It sounds great but honestly I could probably do with a smaller one. If I crank it up it's window rattling and deafening, probably overkill really.
scoopieb- Hell ya I'd love to hear.
I was thinking about maybe an 8 or 10" 10 at the most. I want to make it flush with the boot lip if I can. But if not possible I want to make it look the best I can.
Here is my setup, 10" Type-X with a 1200w RMS amp hidden where the tool kit was. Then up front I have a Pioneer Double Din with a remote bass control ****.
Alpine Type R 8" in a ported enclosure. Alpine sells it this way and it fits perfectly in the back of the Mini. The rest of my stereo is in my signature.
Ok the 07 up photo is what I want to do something where I still have a trunk so it isn't completely useless or obnoxious looking like the 02-07 (no offense just not my style)

No offense taken. I was sponsored by Diamond Audio at the time and that is what they wanted to have promoted . I hardly ever listened to it as I liked the sound of the car a lot better. It weighed way too much and that entire setup has been collecting dust in the garage for several years now
I just got a Pioneer 10" shallow mount pre-enclosed sub. I wanted some more oomph for my music but wasn't gonna go whole-hog (head unit, amp, etc.) so this was the perfect compromise -- a very nice addition to the factory H/K system.
The box is small enough that I still have plenty of room left in the boot.
