Haha. Well, you'll be the only person with one for a while, considering I have to get money together for a engine before I can do any stereo stuff. However, once my car runs, an ID Max WILL be going in.

Good to see another member from College Station on here. Do you ever go to Kroger on Wednesday nights. I used to, but with the car going down not much point. If you want to meet up and talk cars sometime, shoot me a PM.

Yeah. About 10 pm on Wednesdays. First Wednesday of the month it's usualy pretty dead, because Navasota is open than. I'm working becoming an ME, but I tend to get out too much.

All Memphis subs. Studio's are cheap ($160ish) and blow JL W6's away and are maybe the best "Bang for the buck" out there. HP's are near ($260), I'm probubly going to run a single 10" SHP in my car, they retail for about $699, and the "King" or "Elvis" known as the LVS goes for about $1400.

I like Diamonds too, M6's are nice.

sub!

I run 2 xlc fosgate 8 ohm 15's in my truck, great response for the space in their. Tighter quarters in the ski boat though, run a MTX 6000 series DVC 15 4 ohm. That sucker makes ripples on a calm day.

The amp is an Infinity digital 300, the specs sais that it pumps out 300w RMSx2@ 4 ohms, but if you bridge it at 2 ohms will give you 1000 watts. Mine works very good

I don't have anything on paper but I can measure it and write everithing for you if you would like. Its only a rectangular box with a top made to fit the curbes of the back of the car.

All right, Ill do it this weekend. I can email you pics of it, outside of the car too, if you'd like. My subs are 12's.
I'm assuming that you know that you have to match the volume of the box, to the volume recomended for the subs you are using, cause if you don't, they won't perform as they're suposed to.

Memphis are nice, but they are not as clear as the JL W7's. That is a nice speaker. One JL 12" hits harder than 3 12" Memphis!! But for the money, Memphis is very nice indead.
