Audiophile question (subwoofer related)
Heres the deal, I have a full Hifonics system. 6.5 components up front and 6.9's in the trunk all wired to a Hifonics 4 channel amp. I love the sound, highs and mids are on point. Their isnt enough bass for me though. Thing is I don't want to get a traditional sub, and I want to avoid trying to wire a new amp in.
I heard their are some subs that come with thier own amp, anyone got any suggestions?
Also, I was looking at smaller subs (8's and 6.5's), Do you guys think that I could some decent bass from two 6.5's? If I were to do that, I would mount them under the front seats.

I know you probably want something compact, but i would seriously consider going with a small 10" sub with an external amp, you really cant compare the quality of a sub and amp with the poor quality of a internally powered bass tube. But uglydc2 is right, either way you still have to run power and signal wires.

Re: Audiophile question (subwoofer related)
I was seriously considering a bazooka tube till I realized I wouldnt know were the fuck to put it at.
I have considered a 10", but i just dont want the box associated with having a 10". If I were to get a 10", I would taken out the back seat and put it thier. But I mounted my up thier so that eliminates that option. I figure with a 8", i can have a waaaay smaller enclosure.
The audio RE's that uglydc2 suggested seems to be the way im going to go with this. I just now have to find an amp and another god damn wiring kit.
Whats the smallest enclosure I can use for the RE? I really, really, really want to mount it under the seat, but I don't think thiers a chance in hell that it will fit.

knukoncepts.com for wiring
or ebay if your feeling lucky
RE8 will work in very small enclousures i think .3 - .4 ft^3 if going something homebuilt basiclly the box they will arive in will be around the size you need maybe smaller ... if going prefab a truck style box will work. RE10 will can also use a truck style box and doesn't require any more power than the RE8. Have fun
