That 15 only needs 1.5 cu ft of airspace. It can work in that spare tire area. You'd just have to do something like a false floor and raise it a few inches. Nobody would know that sub or amp was there. Unless you showed them.
Example : how an old school camaro box looks. But with a single sub and not as high. Sq how vented does that amp have to be ? Mystic how much were them 12's ? Like $400 bucks plus ? I can find them for about $250 shipped and they're the 800 watt RMS silver ones.

The amp has a massive heat sink....in the three years that I've had it, it only got warm...never hot...and it was on the bottom of my trunk setup with little airflow.
I'd throw my ML to Myz for $250. It's a 1k-ish retail woofer. I truly don't care about making money off it. I just want it to go to a good home. A plus for Myz, Jon Webb is an Audison/Hertz dealer. He can give you any support you need with the woofer. That being said, it's straight forward single 4 Ohm. As for the crime in Vegas, I totally understand. There are some ways to avoid attention, even with a 15" in back.

Myz go check out that shop and get to talkin to that Jon guy and see what he thinks about that system listed and get an opinion on it. Hell get a quoted price for that stuff or something on that same level. Bet it retails for close to 2 grand.
At the same time see what he can recommend about hiding that system

Jon's shop pushes Arc Audio, Hybrid Audio, Elettromedia (Audison/Hertz) as the top brands. I don't recall what he's doing for head unit manufacturers. I think I saw Kenwood, Sony and JVC last time I was there. That may have changed.
Jon may be a top end dealer in price, but there's a good reason for it. You DEFINATELY get what you pay for.

I wasn't able to make it to go see Jon today, but I gave him a call and told him Friday would be better. I got called into work SQ. Sorry bro. I am thinking of deadening my doors, hatch, and trunk. =]

Myself I had my subs / box stolen and it is for this reason I cringe when I see you guys putting in your systems in your cars. I just hope that nothing happens .. and why I stick with the stock stereo (however bad it may be), but I just cannot see myself putting in another aftermarket system in my car.

I'm insured up to 1k in audio equipment...I make sure i keep all my receipts and jot down my Serial numbers on my stuff. I usually don't have a system longer than 3-6 months before i trade it out for a new one. Even when i Lived in Orlando, FL i didn't have much of an issue. I disabled the pop trunk lever for my Sedan (Trunk) so they'd have to Rip out my rear seat then fight to get the box out. Most they could steal from the front is my headunit which is roughly 150 - 200 bucks.

Myz - no need to apologize to me. I'm just glad you got to talk with Jon. Follow his advice when you do meet. Don't be tempted to undercut the advice or cost, especially for install costs...then go to some flashy used car salesman type shop. You'll end up back at Jon's paying more in the long run for something really simple.

Alright sorry I've been MIA. I'm going tomorrow morning to talk to Jon Webb =]. I've had other projects going on lately so I am sorry for the wait. I've been listening to some of my friends systems and thus far, I do like the sound of small subs. But who knows! I will keep you posted SQ - thanks again for being patient.

Hey Mystik, If it helps Ive upgraded the system... well actually took everything out and gave it to some kids. Got new radio, amp. and speakers of at crutchfield; i mean, you can't really beat their prices, even with shipping included,
I can say my set up, is pretty low key nothing crazy, BUT with a mean punch, sound is sublime and very clean, from other set-ups I heard out there. I've installed the 10" sub and small case, takes bout 2/3d's of space, had to cut and modify the flap in back cause box was a tad too high. and can take up around 250 W rms, If I remember corectly its an Energy radio is a Sony DSX-S310BTX ( has remote Subwoofer and amp controls in it Perfect) The amp is an MTX TD500.1D Mono subwoofer amplifier — 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms ( those two I made them portable, atached amp on sub case with anti vibration rubbers, plain rubbers, and made the whole thing easy to take off from trunk. connection is made with a 220 V plug made for kitchens or dryers, cause in a toyota Yaris hatch... not much space, and take whole things of and on .. you end up breaking the connections, plus, theres enough space for the whole plug assembly just under the plastic plank, behind the slidding seat :) ) Also installed Component 5 1/4" JBL's in front, found a nice top line component kit and again JBL's with tweeters, atached for the back doors. And voila. enough to make a statement that small cars dont always pack OEM speakers ( and I had the laugh of my life when I actually DID make that statement against an Audi A8 who thought could push me down, SHE had her bf roll up the windows after my car gave hers the finger) ahahahaha But from the compliments I got... overall i can say its a fair to very good system, on that mix match, and cheap to make, + it's not energyvore. But then again all systems made would depend of your music.. im into techno,I need sound to be clean at points not always bombarding. |

I've been sidetracked by work projects and family so I haven't had time to get my amp/subs. I don't need anything to rattle the ground or piss off any neighbors. I don't care if the other car next to me here's my system - I've never liked when someone rolls up next to me to listen to their obnoxious (usually) music. Most of the music I listen to is rock, but I play around with other genres. I don't think anything larger than 10s will be needed, but I'm still contemplating ;)

There are certainly things to do when trying to protect your investment.
I don't want to dissuade anyone from following my lead regarding vehicle security, but I'm an extreme case. The real reason I built my alarm the way I did was because of two major factors. "Boredom" while deployed in Iraq and because someone said I couldn't do what I wanted to do. If someone breaks into my car, they'd be met by two piezo sirens carefully hidden in the car's duct work, a strobe light that makes the vehicle look like a friggin' club at night, two battery backup sirens hidden deep in the fenders of the vehicle, the two way remote that tells me about anything going on with the car...and a K3LA horn backed by a 5 gallon air tank hooked up to the OEM horn switch...All of these happen at once. That last one WILL wake the dead a mile away and guarantee a visit from me in a "friendly" mood.

@ Edmscan - I completely understand your thought on the stock stereo. That happened to me once back in 1996. I adapted and overcame. That experience in part with guidance allowed me to reach the highest levels of car audio competition.
If one wants to keep the stock look of the vehicle that can be done VERY easily these days. The processing availability is staggering. You can absolutely keep the stock look of a vehicle. You just have to adjust your thinking and make it happen.
