More power handling, much more excursion potential, more air movement, and overall it's just the badassness that comes with it.

Wow, that's insane.

I'm talking about the aftermarket sub that goes in the 10'' rear behind the seats. Not the whole trunk.

Anyways, You fit that sucker in that? wow that's crazy.

Single Boston Acoustics G5 12-44 with Kicker 5-channel amp running everything (mids/highs/sub). I need to upgrade and put some more heat to the sub, but this was a leftover amp so it is doing OK for right now.

Space was a big issue for me as i carry a stroller in the back.... The Hertz audio line was one of the best sounding setups I've ever heard. I went w/ Hertz throughout the entire car.... Its a true SQ setup w/ nice tight bass. Couple that w/ an Audison amp and you'll put alot of gear out there to shame...




Hertz / Audison owned by parent company Electromedia hand made in Italy. The HQ where Audison is R&D'd and made and the Hertz HQ in Rome are all ran by Pantaleone and Vagnoni who run a small staff, NOT a 1000 employee assembly line. Imagine that, a company who truly runs with R&D. Pantaleone and Vagnoni started the Audison brand out of an office ironically located on the same street as the inventor of the radio, Guglielmo Marconi.

Fun Fact

Audison was the first electronics manufacturer in the world to:
* Design an amplifier with an adjustable gain control
* Design an amplifier with a balanced RCA system
* Design a dedicated subwoofer amplifier
* Design a 5-channel amplifier
* Design a dedicated 5.1-channel amplifier for use with multichannelprocessors
* Design an amplifier with selectable damping factor

do you will need aftermarket amp as well? I won't have much space in my trunk.... I will be getting air suspensions. So that tank will be sitting in back.

My best option will be using a aftermarket 10'' sub. I dont want to use any amps to save space. Just want plug and play 10'' sub. Can you give me advices?

Your setup looks clean and out of the way.
Where did you get that box?
