I like your set up with one JL 10.... I have two PPI 10s and as i get older... I'm starting to feel like they are a little too loud for regular day to day use... however, I need some base in my music and think that one 10 should do the trick just fine.... wht did that cost you?

It didn't cost too much - I had all the components from other cars in the garage and just used them all together - I made the box out of mdf - but if you know someone who can fiberglass, you would be able to make the same set-up with a bigger and lighter box - so it would be a little louder!!

I'm sorry, but I don't own any golf clubs; however if you give me a measurement I could check it out for you. I would imagine that they should still fit diagonally across the trunk space.

Forum rules state that I can't say the price because he isn't set up as a vendor. However, I would agree that the price was "high." You get what you pay for; its very clean, fits in with the car well, and takes up minimal space.

Single JL8W3V2 with PG 100.4 and U2Ipod for tunes.
Sealed box 0.43 cubic feet internal volume - takes up little trunk space.

Problems?
Velocity red paint is damn expensive.
Now need to fix all the rattles in the car. Rear Deck, Passenger Door.
Extension is pretty flat to below 27Hz just by ear.
Most likely will measure down to 23Hz or so.
(Our hearing attenuates lower frequency bass - SPL will be high but we will perceive the sound to be lower)
Grill is from older 8W3V2 and has clearance issues with new speaker. So I can't use it - even when I did and had grill cloth over it for a "factory" look the cloth would rap against the grill.

Wiring?
Audio into the AMP is hooked up with a peripheral SVEN.2 BEFORE the rear amplifier. This converts to single ended RCA's.
AMP trigger is wired to the 12V trigger of the rear amp. No popping.

Sound?
When in phase - not too bad.
Fills in the sound of the BOSE system - next step is to rid myself of the door speakers.
Just for fun I put in one of my unused 8" Bazooka tubes to compare the sound.
Running the Bazooka from the 200 Watt bridged channel actually sounded decent. The JL played a bit tighter and with more punch at lower volumes.

Yet another pass-through sub inspired by all those who came before me. Thank you for your posts. I will get one up when I get better pics.
