mwahaha! i did it! i installed my subs! now, so long as it doesn't knock my trunk's bondo out, everything's cool...! when i dynamatted the trunk, i did a layer of dynamat extreme up inside the deck lid, right on the bondo patches, followed by packing the deck lid with foam, and then i held the foam in place with another layer of Extreme... that keeps the vibes down nicely.
anyway, i just put in a pair of 12" Alpine type E's and a Kenwood 1000watt amp (150wx2 @ 4 ohms). the box is an RIT (i think that's the brand) and it's 13.5" tall... it fits PERFECTLY under the little cover thing. i've spent not too much on this whole setup, and i think it sounds freaking amazing... louder than any of my friends' setups.
the cost breakdown
head unit: Pioneer CD, 45wx4- $120 (valued at 160, bought on Best Buy Discount)
speakers: Pioneer 4x6 2-ways (worth 100/pair, came with car)
amp: Kenwood 1000w 2channel (retails 300, bought from friend for 180. 6 months old.)
subs: 12" Alpine E-types (valued at 120 a piece, bought on ebay for 119 for the pair, including shipping)
dynamat: speakers and trunk kit (65 on Best Buy discount)
sub power cables: RF (valued 25, came with car)
RCA cables: found em in my basement <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
sub box: RIT 2.5 cu. foot- $20 (used from friend)
yeah, shop around. bling bling. =)
and the subs match my interior color scheme... oh man... this is cool! i'll post some pics soon.
