Default Subwoofers?

I think I already know the answer to this question, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

I have two ten inch subs in my basement that I can't seem to sell on Craigslist. I love music and love the sound of extra bass and was thinking about putting them in my GS.

The GS already has a great sound system but why not throw these in the trunk? They are collecting dust....

Anyone have a system in their trunk?

The stock sound system isn't bad at all, but it's lacking in lows. I just stuck a 12 inch Type S Alpine sub in the back and was happy with that.

I do and I love it. I've had a lot of custom audio systems in all my cars and in my younger years I've had 2 15's in one car and 4 12's in another wanting that loud slamming bass. Now I'm more of an SQ audiophile guy these days just looking for super clean sound with good stage depth and imaging with just the right amount of low end thump. I think the addition of just one 10" sub like the one in my wife's RX makes all the difference and it takes up a small footprint. I also have a 12" JL Audio 12w6v3 in my GS and while it can definitely get loud and hit super low it add so much more depth to the music.

RichLuz, what kind of equipment do you have to work with?

I have a sealed JL 12W3 sitting on a shelf, wondering if that would be enough to push through the rear seat. What amount of power are you guys pushing it with?

Intense set up lol. Doubt that i'd have much room left in mine if I did something like that. The hybrid battery takes up a lot of room

No dimming at all. I replaced the factory battery with a agm. Then I added a small kinetic batt and it acts like a cap. I had this system ran with the factory battery and still didn't dim at all.

Any sort of stealth enclosures that you can add and retain the majority of the trunk space?
