[QUOTE="jolly_26, post: 7792374, member: 635986"] Well after all of this great banter I am sorry to report that the car won't be getting a sub after all. I realised whilst cutting up parts of the car to remove weight that having a sub was just stupid in this car. To clarify, my MR2 is quite different to the crappy USDM ones that you guys get. I have a sub on the way but I'm just going to set it up in my room haha. This means that my system will be less than 200 watts rms, and the amp for the mids and highs is small enough to just go under the seat. I will run from the battery, as with the amps inside it'll actually be easier. To update on the car, the doors have had a 25% coverage of AT 60mil, and mids and highs wired and positioned into them. Tweets are aimed, and mids are factory located other than spacers. Waiting on one more RCA cable and I'll be able to get it all done. Will be running active crossed off a Soundstream LW4.500 amp, and I may do a sealed 8 too if I can find a LW1.400 for a reasonable price. Cheers for all the help. Also, to contribute to the thread, after more research I am of the opinion that [USER=618379]@madcad95[/USER] [USER=541144]@maylar[/USER] [USER=567719]@bubbagumper6[/USER] and [USER=611804]@winkychevelle[/USER] are correct. Not to say that everyone else is completely wrong, for some situations, systems and cars you are possibly right, but I'd say just not this one. [/QUOTE]
