yeahmake sure the box fits through the opening in your trunk. I would definitely go JL though, as for which series the w6 is nice, I havent looked at how much they cost lately though

What kind of budget you on? I've always thought that the best sub for the money is the cerwin vega v-max.

Not to many people talk about these but they are awsome. 600 watts rms and don't need a big box.

i would go with boston acoustic subs, i have a g2 12" in a g-tuned box from boston and it sounds phenomenal, but then again my system is set up for sound quality as i only have the one sub and one amp, cap, and sweet ass audiocontrol eqx

i have two 12" diamond d3s.. the w6s are loud but the sound qualitly isnt the best.. but its about what you are looking for..

i have a decent set up, worth 2500 retail lol...so its all about how much you want to spend, you could put one 10 w7 in there and it would be totallly enough for you

Go with a Single Alpine Type-R 15" it will bump alot. For a amp in go with Kennwood they make good amps. H/u it doesnt matter get one that looks sick basically

No argument about the Type-R 15", but you should take more than just looks into consideration when buying a Head Unit! LOL. After all, it is the FOUNDATION of your system.
