Hey Yall'
I have been doing audio for 15 years now and have tinkered with going into business now and again because it flat out makes me angry with what product live in the consumer world. Dave (Mantiskingfu) heard some of my handy work and decided to have me design him a sub that would get his trunk back, not break the bank, and sound good. I think we were both a little surprised by what happened next.
The link below takes you to a "the other guys" where Dave wrote up the review. See for details & pics.
Basically it is a dual 8" box, that takes VERY little power to drive saving your cars electrical system, and the wallet by requiring only a small amp. And has useable (brain shaking) output to 25Hz. Because it is designed for the general parameters of the ion/balt, the acoustics of the cars are use to boost output and give you sound that can easily take out moderately priced dual 12" boxes. This also helps reduce and almost eliminate trunk rattle. Yet you have 3/4" of your trunk AND The pass-through still available.
I need to get 10 people together for these to make them affordable, and I already have 2 interested, so it's off to a great start.
The prices are :$325 pick-up locally (I will drive to meet as well 1 hour or so) or $360 shipped. Let me know if there is any interest. I am sure Dave will not mind meeting up to demo as well!

I was finally able to find some one local who knew a thing or two about the workings of audio systems. He goes by the name Mikeyredline around here, and this guy knows his shit. After talking to him, and giving him an idea of what I wanted, he built me a custom sub enclosure. Taking into consideration all of the little variables the RL has in the trunk, the shapes, the depths, and all the other mumbo jumbo technical stuff one must take into consideration, that I wouldn't know one thing about. He built me a sub box that not only works, but was made specifically for the RL's needs.
I would never have thought 2 little 8" subs could shake my car the way it does. The sound is so crisp and clean. You can hear every base line, every drum beat, and nothing is muddy or sounds distorted, and best of all though it shakes my car, because it was built for the RL needs there is none of that ugly rattling noise that you hear with the "riced out cars".
One of the things I asked for when I asked him to make this for me was my trunk space. I wanted a system that would be practical, but gave some good sound. This does it all!!!!!

I was in shock, when I first laid my eyes on it. I didn't for the life of me think that something that small was going to sound better than 2 12" subs I had. Luckily I was very wrong. This thing hits harder, louder, and cleaner than my other one, and I am very happy with the end product. The craftmanshit of the box itself was so much better than what I had. It was some nice thick wood, and not some cheap particle board or whatever the other shops use.
So I finally have my truck back, and my music is cleaner than ever. I just wanted to give a personal thank you to Mikeyredline, for making me this custom sub piece, it was well worth the money I spent, and wish I had found him before I went to buy my ugly behemoth of a sub box...
