[ajn507]

My current setup is as follows:
Alpine 7878
Boston Pro 6.5 in front powered by JL 300/2 Amp.
The rear speakers are stock and powered off the HU.
I'm going to buy a JL 500/1 for sub.
I don't need alot of bass and don't want to take up alot of space w/ a big sub box.
Do you reconmend a single 10 or 12 and what type?
Thanks

You may want to look at a StealthBox from JL, or maybe a custom enclosure in the corner of your trunk...

I like the kicker solo's (the square ones). It uses a pretty small enclosure, sealed and it hits pretty good. It has decent SQ...and like I said it hits nicely.
You'll lose only a little bit of space, unless you make a custom enclosure into the side.
JL's are also nice, go with the stealthbox if you are really set on not losing any usable trunk space.

I am not overly concerned w/losing space for an enclousure that will take up about 1 cu. ft.
The stealthbox is kind of expensive. I don't mind spending $500 on a sub but I would want to be able to use it if I ever sell my car. Thats why I want a small sealed box.
I've heard good things about the Kicker L7.
I previously had 2 10 alum eclipse subs in my Civic and may go w/a 12in elcipse.
More suggestions are welcomed.

I have a box with (4) JL 8W3' pff a single JL 500/1 and its plenty of tight bass.
I have pics of the box.
The spare is still easy to get out.
And BTW, I have an extra 500/1 for sale.

The JL Stealthbox is very nice. This is a box I built for my buddies 02 GTI.

We still need to finish the amp box and the raised sub floor.

If you don't mind spending the money, you will be hard pressed to find a better fitment and solid sound than what the JL Stealth Box offers. I made space savings a priority and I am thankful of that everytime I go to the grocery store. I just use my sub to mix up all the liquids I bought at the store.

Nothin like a wrench head to open up, put together, and lay out and exhaust system in the house. LOL
