    The best bang for the buck is:

    Pioneer DEH6300
    MB Quart 60.4
    Infinity Reference 8" SVC
    Stock Premium speakers

    Properly tuned, this setup would play very nicely.

    VERY nicely.

            SO how does this work with a full back seat? I run a JLw7 12 in a inch sealed box. Curious if this sounds better.

              I am definitely thinking about this box, but as you have read I am elbow deep in projects already. Perhaps in the next week or two... I could come pick it up and a red alarm LED too.

                So you are asking if an 8" woofer is as good as a W7? Are you nuts?

                    Oh. Well, that makes more sense.

                    If you want that level of performance, I can kick its ass for less than half the cost of a new W7, especially in an E30, especially if it is in a sealed box.

                    If you just want good, solid, clean bass, do the single 10 box. It is easily the best bang for the buck you will ever hear. If all out performance is the goal, look at the Beast boxes, and if tiny/light is the goal, I offer the 8" LTW box that is detailed in this thread.

                    Oh yeah, almost forgot: I do make a normal 12" box. It is pretty well known for making very loud, great sounding bass. You can expect 135db with a $100 woofer and a $100 amp...

                    Closing SOON!

                        I want to get my hands on that woofer!

                        Is yours sealed into the cabin, or just sitting in your trunk? Care to post a pic?

                          I just wanted to post some initial feedback here regarding the 8" box.

                          Luke worked with me, much to his pain I'm sure, to make sure that a specific 8" woofer I was looking to use would fit in his 8" box. I paypaled Luke once we confirmed fitment and space, and I had a tracking number for the box in less than 5 days. Luke told me ahead of time he'd build the box upon payment, which I was perfectly fine with.

                          The box was delivered by the kind man in the brown truck in less than a week after that. It was expertly packaged, with some additional protective reinforcements in the box to ensure it wasn't damaged.

                          The first thing I noticed upon opening the packaging was that Luke had already gone ahead and wrapped the entire box in a beautiful fabric that is a near spot on match to the OEM trunk. I didn't expect this to be the case, and it was an amazing bonus!!!

                          I immediately pulled the sub out of it's box and test fit it in the GAS box. It fit like it was the only sub ever designed to be in the box. It is amazing how tight it fits, and how clean the whole layout is.

                          The box itself is tiny! This thing won't take up much space at all in the trunk. This was a huge concern for me, as the opening on an M3 trunk is already small, so losing additional space would have been a deal breaker for me. At this point, I'm not sure if the box will even be large enough to mount my Boston Acoustics GT-50 amp to. I may need to build a false wall to mount the amp.

                          I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but I am ecstatic to get it in and wired up. It is surprisingly light, and it appears to be built strong enough to survive a nuclear holocaust. Luke, German Audio Specialties (GAS), builds amazing products. I will never hesitate to purchase a product from GAS again for any vehicle I own.

                          I've been around E30's for almost 15 years. I've seen hundreds of audio installs, from home-hack jobs to "high end" installs. All I can say is I have NEVER seen a sub box built with this level of attention, detail, and care.

                          I will post up the most important part, the audio experience, once I get it installed.

                          Thank you again Luke! You've earned a customer for life.
