May be hard finding an enclosure to fit that in the trunk, I have a single JL W3 12" with an 500W digital Alpine Amp in a ported enclosure that fits exactly in the deep pocket of the trunk. W6 and W7 can't go wrong! Just make sure you measure the area and find an enclosure that fits and has enough volume for the W7 to operate.

Mesca is right, you need a proper enclosure to get optimal output on that sub..... It's a great sub don't get me wrong, the tech is a little outdated.

I've done 2 Sundown SD-2 shallow mount subs in my trunk, mated to 750w @ 2 ohms (pushing maybe 400w) and the windows were vibrating, along with rear window, which was flexing pretty hard.

This was in a sealed enclosure to Sundown specs, and it fit right in the deep pocket of the GS.

If I were to go back and redo it? 1 12in Sundown Sa-12, ported to that same deep pocket, w/ a 1000w RMS amp to it.... sure to throw some nasty #s .

As far as mids and highs? I've heard good things about Hertz as far as lower price point goes... If you want to go HAM on your system, a $2k set of Morels sound friggin awesome. I've heard them live in an S2k (not much room or space anywhere in this car to get full acoustics), and it was nice, loud, & crisp. The beats were right on point and it was music I did not want to stop listening to for hours on end.
