    Powered sub for my setup? Suggestions

    My current setup is NON E30:
    Head unit http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130X150...-X1500DVD.html
    Speakers front and rear http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130TSA1...TS-A1605C.html
    Amp http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130GMA6....html?tp=35782
    Running 0 gauge power and 4 gauge ground

    I'd like to get a little more bass in the car. I don't need shit rattling, just some extra bass to make up for what is missing. I Don't want to switch to a 5 channel or run a seperate amp in the trunk with a big box. Trunk space is valuable. This brought me to powered subs, compact and should add enough bass to make me happy. Looking for some thoughts or opinions on what would go good with my current setup.

    A box from German Audio Specialties and a cheap sub running off half of your amp will give you the most bang for your buck. Then run the front speakers off the other half of the amp and run the rears off the deck.

    The internally amplified subs on the market are all very expensive for the amount of bass you get. You will likely be disappointed with whatever you get.

    And before you say you don't want a "big" box, realize that a 10" box from GAS is only 4"deep at the top. Takes up very little trunk space.

      I thought that box was designed specifically for E30's?
      Either way I already have a smallish box and another amp if I wanted to go to a trunk setup. I already thought about it, I would just put in a distribution box at the current amp run 4 gauge to both amps from the block. I wonder how complicated the wiring is on the old WRX under seat sub setups? Maybe I can find a cheap one...

        Ah, didn't notice you said non-e30. You never said what car this is in.

              #1 I don't like Hondas and wouldn't spend that for a single component in a honda.
              #2 I have less invested in my whole system then that one sub.
