livereckless010 why don't you hit them up via email and see if they will sponsor you.
I believe all it is to be sponsored is to buy a certain amount from them and attend like 4 shows a year and a sticker with their site and logo on it you're good to go, oh and pix that you have their logo on your car and some sorta proof of shows, like when you register. so its not much at all, especially for the amount off . oh and lastly obviously the car cant be a hunker, it has to look decent in which yours does already so you should see what you can get.

I had 2 15'' L7s with a 15 watt Kicker amp drilled to the back of the box...it took like 75% of the trunk but there was still room for other things back there...I dont travel much so it wasnt a big deal...the box was supppppppppper Heavy and getting back there was like firguring out a math problem...with trying diff angles and everything ha...in the end it was tons of bass I loved it... Id open the trunk and park somewhere and get complains all the time...but I feel that I grew out of that phase so I sold it all and am going for a single L7 (15") with a 1000watt drilled to it and it should be enough with still 80% of the trunk for other use... Door speakers are a Must if u add base...I would say Polk Audio is ur best bet...add a 4 ch amp to that for better results...thats my next project!!!!!!!

Don't laugh, i heard a set and it sounded like two mid level 10's. They vibrate like a subwoofer does at different hertz. No box needed. Mount them under your seat for real fun!!!! lol

Lanzar and pyramid and boss are pawn shop junk nowadays.
please do not go with the "bass shakers" lol.
anything like that does not compare to what you could get with building your own box and saving room too.
Go with a shallow mount sub...kicker has some, kenwood, alpine, pioneer, basically every brand has shallow mount subs now, they require almost no space and you will be pleased with them too. check out www.bpcustomsautosport.com because they are probably going to be a vendor of ours soon and will get you a discount, I am talking to the mods and setting everything up so please stick with a sub and box and no big boxey vibrators for under your seat lol.

No, they won't compare with a huge amps, or boxes, or woofers, but they use almost no room. They arent "big and boxy" They are small and fit under your seat. I personally have a 12 in each car with an amp mounted to the box. I still have room for a stroller, and walmart trips. I just didn't know how serious you were about space. you could get some free air subwoofers or "infinite baffle"....... What are you hauling around?
well, i think it depends on what music he listens to, how much room he is willing to sacrifice, how much bass/sq he wants and how much he is willing to spend. if you listen to rock you would want a sealed box, its more punchy and clear, if you listen to rap, go with ported its more bass but not as clean. if you want to conserve space, obviously go with a smaller sub, id go with a 10" sub and this way they wont need much space either way you go.

Has anyone added subs in their koup? I know of a couple people but I cant remember names at this point. Would people be willing to share pictures of their setup? I think I found a way around my space issue, just pull the back seats down when i need the room! haha

I think ive decided on what to do, Im going to go ahead and cut into trunk space and go with 2 10s or 12s and any time i need my trunk (which isnt too often. oh, and im a guitarist with a half stack lol) I can just switch off the amps for the subs (im gonna get a switch wired in the line and installed in one of my "dead buttons") and take them out.
Now i just gotta find good door and corner speakers any suggestions?

I run all memphis. I like the lifetime warranty. ( on the speakers)
I have 4s in the dash, 6 1/2 in the doors and 6x9's in the back all running off the deck. It keeps up with the bass nicely. I am not trying to win an spl contest, i like clarity, not to hear my ears ringing. I went though that phase already and all it did was make my car come apart... But as long as you stick to quality speakers you should be ok. Boston, alpine, polk ect. Even power acoustik is ok. Don't get anything from a pawn shop.
Remember, ONE 10 or 12 can sound just as good or better than two lesser 10's or 12's. When you shop for amps, look at the fuses and you can tell the REAL power. (rms)Add one zero to the total and you will get a pretty good guesstimate. if it has two 20 fuses then its around 400 watts. If you have 4 30's then 1200. Its not a perfect formula, but it is pretty close. I hope that will stop you from getting a 1000 watt amp with one 30 watt fuse..lol
Or a 1000 watt amp with 2 20 watts like this one..... lol
