Need a bass tube... what one to get?
Here's what Crutchfield has:

I need to get one there because I have some store credit.
Anyways, I need a powered sub. I want the best bang for my buck, and I'm willing to go up to $400 if needed. Reason for this is I have VERY limited space in the car!
I was eyeing the Audiobahn ATB10AT as it has gotten GREAT reviews, and I think it will fit in my car!
Any suggestions? Please, don't suggest not getting one of these. I can't fit any prefabbed box and I can't afford to have one made right now!

you have a nice choice with the 10" amped audiobahn tube i had the 8" version in my firebird last summer and it satisfied my needs even though i ended up upgrading but the 10 is prob even a lot better than the 8 so id say yea go for it its a nice choice with some quality i ended up selling it to my friend and put it in her passat and it pounded her trunk so hard to make the license plate rattle.

I just put that exact audiobahn in the well in the back hatch, powered by a 280rms MTX amp. I couldn't be more satisfied! Left enough space so if you have the back hatch cover it clears it, and no rattles what so ever. It's a great choice!

With some hard work and a lot of fiberglass, you can custom mold the entire hatch to gain the proper air space for the sub as well as inlay the amp on a piece of fiber board to accomidate a 15 sub. Have a JL 15 and and a rockford 501 amp pushing it. It hit 142 db at local crank it up.
Just form experience, dont do fiberglass work in the middle of the winter with the garage closed up tight,may lose a couple x-tra brain cells from the fumes
