I thought the post was gonna be about fishing. :chuckle:

I like very clean tight bass. Only sealed boxes and usually 10's, but this time I went with 8's.

I'm not a fan of the thunderous boom that I hear from some a** hats car passing by my house late at night.

Same here.
Hard to find time to install even though i already own the amp and sub! :rolleyes:
Will be a single 10" getting about only 140W peak, with small box, but yes will be pretty decent in hatch.
My fave car i had for sound was an 86 golf diesel. Had same amp and sub, but the best paper 6x9s i ever heard...and held together with tub caulking due to sun damage! :biggrin:

When you guys need to transport stuff, or load stuff in the Versa, where do you put it with the subs there?

Use quick-disconnects along speaker wire.
Remove as necessary.
Found in automotive wire section at CanTire, HomeHdwe, PrincessAuto etc.
Or go with built-ins like randy8876 fabricating.

Wouldn't that be a huge hassle to remove it everytime you go somewhere?

I'm OCD about neatness and hate when people simply throw things in the back seats or trunk area. :tisk:

I have the built in factory sub. It's good enough (for now) :chuckle:

Hassle only as big as the box.
Unfortunately, I needed whole hatch five times since May28!
For four trips to/from camp and one trip from Home Depot!
This is why next amp locale will be under driver's seat, and sub box will be quick-disconnect.
pitapitapita...but i hate missing half the song! :woot:
...and congrats again on your article!
Your hard work sure shows!

The stock sub is nice, but nothing to brag about.IMO
I like it because I loose almost no room in the rear. :)

Why not build your own boxes?

Mine fill the spaces to the sides of the cargo organizer and don't have to be removed.

I might build another pair just to sell sometime in the future.

Ya the stock sub gets the job done! It's decent enough and doesn't take up much of the trunk space (as we know there is little to begin with).

If you were in MS I'd offer to help you out. Late August I might try building another pair, but with a little more volume. Thee ones I made were meant for JL's, and I've decided to go with a different pair of subs.

This can help walk you through it some:
