    A lot of people over look the American Bass XFL line. they're cheaper money wise but still good quality build and can get low and loud very easily. Buddy had 2 12s in the trunk of his sunfire tuned to like 28hz and was still doing a 142 all day long.

    The XFL 15 sells for about $180-$250 depending on your local dealer.

    SSA, Sundown, FI and so on are good choices also, Zcons sound amazing and FI has never failed to impress me either.

    for your engine noise, try ground the black wire in your harness directly to a metal bracket behind your dash. my blazer was horrible with alternator whine, once i grounded it to the airbag bracket my noise went away completely.

    great products btw

    So what I'm looking for is some clean, tight, bass to add to my current setup. Loudness is not really what I'm going for, I don't want the sub to overpower the rest of my system. I currently have a 4CH JL amp feeding 60W (i think) to some 6.5 mb quarts. Now I'd like fill out the bottom end. When I put in a sub I'd like to run a hpf on my components so that they don't have to play the lower freqs (is this right?).

    Also, space is a concern.

    So from what I've read on this forum, I'm thinking of going with a SA-12 in Dual 4 coils and the most powerful amp @ 2ohms that I can afford. Was looking at the Alpine MRPM500 or MRXM50.

    I'd like to go with a sealed enclosure, but I'm not sure I'm up for designing and building one.

    What do you guys think? Any recommendations on amps or getting a custom box built? How would you do the sub,amp, and box for around $500?

    Thanks in advance! :)

    edit: its like a $10 price difference to go for the 12, so that was my thinking.

    What is it about a sealed box that you don't want to design and build? all you have to do is figure out what usable space you have the dimensions you need to achieve 1 cubic foot after displacement.

    the alpine amp is a good little amp that will power your 12 great. it just doesn't leave any room to grow if you ever want to add another 12.

    you can easily purchase all that for under $500. it would also be a good sounding setup. The only question is, why not go ported? you can make a ported sub blend well with a quality front stage (mb quart being one of them).

    Is this a chat or a build log ?

    extremely tempted to -1 you on that one Casey. last time i checked, yours is chit chat a lot also....

    just messin with you. We're a little busy with other peoples' cars at the moment which is why his build is going so slow. we have all the products, just no time to work on it as of right now.

    I honestly thought you popped the subs in and were hiding them behind some grille cloth. looks great though man. can't wait to see what you think about the install when done. if it sounds like it looks, it'll be amazing.

    Sorry no burn out- it would have been more smoke out the tail pipe then the tires. The L82 is getting old and needs a refresh soon.

    I'm just used to all the idiots around me i guess that when they take their time like that, they usually light them up. great looking car though. I work with people who think they know what they want and try telling me exactly what to do. I really wish they'd just hand over the money and give me a basic idea of what they want and let my mind run free.

    Sounds like you're a happy customer though so thats great
