yes it is, im currently gathering everything for my system. i have a conv stang //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

it depends on ur sub and how much room u have.

i honestly wouldnt go any cheap brands ie lanzar boss pyle sony etc etc. go for higher end model subs

sweet, i just thought the car was like a chamber for the bass to be moving around in there... does it sound better with the top up or down?

I have a 9kv.2 in a 77 MGB conv. and it sounds good. Sounds better with the top up, get's kinda drowned out when driving with the top down, but you can still feel it.

yeah sounds better with top up

with the top up, the sound will be more concentrated into the cabin.. thus getting more bass to your head.

edit: i meant down as in latched down. but yeah up i guess

Yes it is! I have a 2002 Mustang convertable. I have 5x7 mb Quart in doors 5x7Infinity in rear on a Soundstreamlil wonder amp. I have a 12 inch RF p3 in a sealed box pushed by a 1000 Alpine and it sounds great. You do lose some bass so maybe go ported. You will be happy.
