[QUOTE="bumpasauras, post: 8281231, member: 607820"] If using a stock deck My first choice would be a jl audio clean sweep (even though I am not a jl guy) the clean sweep is a really good way to run a stock hu and convert line lvl to rca. Then I would buy a PPI 900.4 to power it all . Next is a bit subjective there are 3 routes as I see it you could put a quality comp set on the front channel of the amp and do something like 4 6.5" woofers in the back deck or just buy 2 quality comp sets 1 for the front 2 channles and one for the back 2. If it were me I would put 1 set of comps in the factory door locations and the other set in a set of kick panels (which can be found no prob for the wrx) . 3rd you could put a e series 8" woofer mounted to the rear deck in a very small sealed box..I think the e series can run in .5 cu3 power the woofer with the back 2 channels bridged in 2 ohm (dual 4 ohm woofer) and put a good comp set on the front 2 channels. 1 thing I will tell you is to get good sound outta subie doors you have to damp them mdf stand off rings are a must with as much sound deadened material as you can afford ...this will make a world of difference in the sq. so you will need Jl audio clean sweep....or any quality line lvl to rca converter PPI 900.4 amp Hands down the best mid/high amp out there for the money ...I mean c'mon a fully active capable amp 240 rms per ch X 4 for 168.00$ shipped...Cant beat it for the money I have and like 5 of them now (I had 2 stolen bought 2 more and have one in the wifies car) all of them drive multiple comp sets. Sound deadener Choice 1 : 1 comp set (I like soundqubed comp set really high quality for 100% shipped) 2 sundown neo pro 8"s (which you could fit in the back deck) or 4 6.5" woofers stuffed in the back deck or any combination of that ...like 2 8" neos and 2 6.5" woofers would be cool. Choice 2: 2 sets of comps either set in the stock door location and rear deck, or buy a set of kicks and put them all up front like your supposed to. Choice 3: 1 set of comps in the front, and put you a sundown e series 8" woofer in the back deck...it will fit with a little modification I have done it to a customers car. This would be an ideal set up ...small foot print ..hell the ppi 900.4 is smaller than a cigar box you can put it anywhere and if you put the e series woofer in a small sealed enclosure mounted on the rear deck you would never even see a sub box.
