Its a single DIN. I would much prefer one with a motorized DVD screen (such as this one http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Ite...T512&tp=448 ), but if i cant find a good quality one for around 400-500$, ill go with a normal CD player HU.

I currently have an Alpine 9843 HU in my car which is currently powering 4 Infinity 6022i's. I want to get two 12" BL subs and will be powering them with a sundown 1500d (will be getting a 2nd one when i get more money). I have about 400$ to spend on a new headunit, and would like to get a motorized DVD one, but if i can't get a decent one i'll just get a normal CD player. So, do you guys think i'll need a new HU, and if so any suggestions?

Well, i don't really want to fill my trunk up with box (the 37" depth is filling the whole trunk up to the seat). I think a more realistic box size is 3' x 1.333' x 1.8333' (36"x16"x22"), this size being the outer dimensions. This would give me a total of 7.33 cubic feet. If i went with the 2 BL's, would be be possible to run them both off of a 1500d then later on down the road (when i get more money) get another 1500d to power the 2nd? I also need to buy a new head unit too, which is why i would have to do 1 amp now, 1 later, any recommendations on a good HU?

ok, ive done some measurements and this is what i came up with. first off, my seat doesnt lay down flat, but stays at an angle, im thinking i can either reupholster the seat (my step-dad does upholstery) and take out some of the lower foam so it lays down nicer, or maybe do a plexi backrest or something. if i want to run a flat box (all corners 90degrees) i can make it about (HxWxD) 18"x37"x37", but if i want to make an about 82.7ish degree grade in the front i can change it so the bottom has 45" of depth and the top has 37". the reason why i would do this is so i can put my backseat up if needed (it would match the slope of when by backseat is up). Now i am unsure if BL's or Q's would fit my need better, i know that the Q's supposedly have better sound quality, but do they still hit nice. If they still hit pretty nice with better quality then the BL's i think ill go with 2 12" Q's with a SD1500d in a ported box. in a lot of the threads i read, i see people mention the "big 3", what is that?

that is exactly how i wanted to mount them, thanks a lot wildsebring, it was just hard to put into words haha. as far as having enough room, i think i should. the car they are going into is a 98 jetta and they have pretty big trunks. if i could get some dimensions of a good ported box for 2 12's i could do some measurements and go from there, or maybe i could do like 1 15?

by sloppy i mean just some prebuilt box thrown into a trunk. maybe i didnt describe what i wanted to well. The box will be in the trunk, but when looking into the trunk it wont look like there are subs in there. its kinda hard to describe i guess, but i guess ill just find a better way to mount them. will a sundown 1500d be good enough for these, or should i get a kicker 2500 or SD3000

Hi, this is my first post here and i don't know much about car audio so take it easy on me. I am considering getting 2 of the 12" BL's to put in my car. I dont really want them in a sloppy box in the trunk, but i don't want to take out my backseat to install them. I know it might look goofy, but the backseat in my car flips down, so i was wondering if it would be possible to build a box that has the speakers in the trunk facing the cab if i have enough clearance for the subs while the seats are up? This car will be for daily music, i listen to mostly jeezy, trae etc, but sometimes i like to switch it up with some death metal (In Flames, and the like). What amp will i need to power these subs so that they thump hard but the amp is still within a reasonable price (not trying to set records, just want a nice system).
