This is the box I plan to get: (Picture of someone elses car)

I was thinking this MTX: MTX TT6512-02 (tt651202) - 12" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronix

But i dunno.... What do you guys think for a SUB+AMP combo on this box?

BOX INFORMATION:

~0.70 Cubic Feet Air Space

Aprox. 5in. Deep

build a custom enclosure, alot cheaper, can be made for any sub(s) u would like, and u wont be limited to shallow mounts.

No thats the whole reason I am asking here. I WANT THAT BOX. It looks soooo nice and I REALLY NEED TRUNK SPACE. I use my trunk. So please help me work with this box. I am not looking for absolute insanity at 200db I want some good sounding base with shallow mounts and that box in the picture.

If you absolutely must have this enclosure, try out the Stereo Integrity BM mkIII. I don't have any hands on experience with them, but I've heard good things.

Take a look: Stereo Integrity | SI BM mkIII

I have also heard good things. But cannot find them on ebay or anywhere.

Maybe you should click the "ORDER ONLINE" button at the top of the website I linked for you.

Just a thought.

riighhhttt.... not sure I wanna pay full price is what I'm sayin' Thanks for the link. But it's kinda hard to just go buy something ya know? And you haven't even had experience with them so it's hard to even get a reference.

What amp would you recommend?

How much money are you looking to spend? Do you need power for your front stage as well?

No I am using the stock AMP for the speakers... but $250 MAX I wanna say.

Also, why don't I find them for sale anywhere else?

Some companies don't have dealer distribution. It's not completely uncommon. Fi doesn't have dealers either.

I'd spend the extra $20 for this: FD 600.1 - ARC Audio 1 Channel 620 Watt Amplifier

These will work too:

Ha I've been looking at getting that Alpine for quite some time actually.... I realllyyyy don't wanna spend 270 on an amp to be honest.

And I can understand not finding these items at stores..... but ebay? Come on, everythings on ebay. Like used ones and stuff. But not these idk why?

Not true. You'll hardly ever see Fi, DC, Incriminator or Digital Designs subs on ebay. I guess you can add Stereo Integrity to that list too.

Just because the subs aren't available all over the place doesn't mean they aren't good. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
