    Lmao... I guarantee you he is one of, if not the loudest GP here. He has a build log on CACO... same screen name. The thing is nasty.

    Edit: Here's a link to the build log http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/f...x-rebuild.html

    OP: In my experience, 97-03 cars with single 15" setups do MUCH better with a sub up/port rear corner (driver or passenger... up to you... sounds better on opposite side of the car that the port is on) orientation. Not to mention the fact that it mitigates a lot of rattles. There is usually a light squeak during drawn out low notes, due to the trunk flexing... nothing crazy though.

    I had success with the sub hanging in the spare tire well. Bout 5 cuft tuned 31hz. Wish I woulda kept the box. :-/. Top of box was cut out and had plexiglass after you got the sub in.

    Sorry about the late reply

    I am the guy that does nothing except chases numbers.

    Theres an entire build log of the current wall.

    And last years wall.

    Actually the popcorn sounds amps are just Lanzar opti amps in a different case(most likely with cheaper parts and the opti board), but there has been alot of positive and negative feedback on them.

    BUT at the beginning of the year I started out with a single Addictive Audio 500.1 at .5ohm, then switched to 2 crescendo bc2000 strapped at .5(.25 ohm each), then finished off the year with 2 Audioque 3500ds strapped at .5ohm.
    The year before I went from an Audioque 2200d, to a Audison VRx 1.500, and ended up with a Crescendo BC3500.

    I do nothing, but chase numbers like I said so I go through a TON of equipment.
