[QUOTE="Mooncatt, post: 8676095, member: 676968"] For his setup of a single 12" sub and amp, I still doubt the mileage drop would be noticeable, either by tracking with pen and paper or the pocket book. I'm running a couple 10" MTX Blue Thunder Xtreme's, which are no lightweight. All in, I'm maybe 80 lbs of hardware. No more than 100 lbs for sure. I never had a noticeable mileage drop in the various cars I've used it in (2 Neons, Focus, and G6). His one sub is under 30 lbs, so his may be less weight than mine, all in. Even in a scenario like yours, a 3mpg drop isn't going to break the bank and I don't think is worth losing sleep over unless you're a big environmentalist or hyper-miler. If you fall into either of those categories, chances are you wouldn't be looking into doing this kind of an upgrade in the first place. Don't worry, be happy. ;) [/QUOTE]
