Hi guys,

I'm new to car audio, so my knowledge is fairly limited. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a compact subwoofer with a built in amplifier.

Here are some options so far... Can anyone have anything good or bad to say about any of these?

Blaupunkt THB200A

JVC's CS-BB2

Pioneer TS-WX22A

Kenwood KSC-SW10

Alpine SWD 1600

I'm into deep progressive and psy trance, and these choons do pump out a lot of bass. I'm not looking for a loud ground shaking sub, just something to bring out those lows. So, what kind of frequency response should I be looking in a sub? Alpine sounds like really nice sub, but minimum frequency is 60Hz. Would that be too high? Do I need to get a sub with about 40Hz minimum? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I am also planning to run the woofer off a head unit, so does anyone have any recommendations for a 4 channel HU (preferably not less than 40W per channel) with a sub output?

I know I should be posting this in the Speakers section of the forum, but my train of thought is steaming. Any ideas for component speakers that would be powered by a HU? Looking for superb clarity of sound, but smaller size preferred and money isn't an issue.

Thanks heaps. Ciao for now!
