What's your budget?

I'm a big fan of the ID series of subs, unfortunately we can't get them in the UK anymore but they're sold on Sounddomain in the US I think. An ID10 D2 would be perfect I think, it doesn't need a massive box and is pretty efficient so it gets fairly loud off minimal power. As for an amp, I'd go for a 2 channel amp which produces abot 250-300w RMS bridged from a reputable brand. Avoid Sony, they're pants but most other stuff is OK really. If you can afford one the Arc Audio KAR amps are very nice and good value for money too.

JL do a custom box which is very expensive this side of the pond but I assume you can get
it a bit cheaper over there. mobile.jlaudio.com/products_stealthbox_detail.php?fit_id=1433
You can fit an Hi-Fonics Falcon behind one of the boot side panels, that will look neat and
keep space in the boot. If not consider a flat'ish amp under the front seats. Very difficult
to recommend without know a budget though.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs

I was thinking of JL also but I didn't know anything about the custom box I will have to check it out. I really don't want to drill any holes or anything I don't want to do that to the car in anyway if I could avoid it. That JL box looks great I will have to see what the price of that would be, looks expensive. But I here JL is a very good brand. I'm not real sure what these systems cost but I am pretty sure I won't afford the best and I really don't want the cheap stuff, something in the higher average would be great. I don't think i want to get as fancy as that JL audio stealth box. Thanks alot for your help.
