Default sound system

Right now my is 350 is stock with the navigation. I am going to add the ipod feature that lets you control your ipod from the touch screen. Now i am thinking about adding one 12 inch sub with a custom box in the pocket in the trunk on the passenger side. is this worth it? is there a better way to add sub(s)? whats the best set up? thanks

adding a 12" sub with 500+watt amp is very very worth it, everyone whos done it has not regretted the decision... EXCEPT maybe thinking afterwards that 500watt is too small and shoulda gone 1000watt

Yeah you can never go wrong with subs really. I was pushing two 12" Kicker L7s in my trunk with a 2000w amp. Long story short my rearview mirror would jump everywhere lol. Im actually planning on going with a different set up pretty soon.

Do it!

JL 13W3 - love it, but very easy to overpower the rest of the sound system
