[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8471295, member: 650438"] I listen to those bands very often as well. Its not blowing out windows, its just an 8 in a sealed wont do much at all. Car audio is a very noisy environment and a sealed box is not an efficient box which translate to almost inaudible bass in comparison to everything else. at least go with a 10 or 12 so the sub wont be as stressed as an 8" in a sealed box struggling to keep up over the road and engine noise. A sub barely lifting a finger to provide proper output will also last a lot longer than a small sub being overworked. The amp recommendation stands but you'll want to keep things simple with a pair of component speakers with a crossover network included in if you want to stick with that radio. However there are plenty of single din radios that fit into the slot because they are the same size as your factory radio. We are not cutting anything, i'm not suggesting any touchscreen big double dins. All the good Sound quality decks are single dins. [/QUOTE]
