John,

You might wanna look in to getting Technic's harness for the subwoofer enclosure, will make the upgrade a lo easier. I highly recommended.

Do you still have this available? Can I request one that will fit a 12" sub or just the ones with 10" is available with this deal? Let me know, I'd like to buy. Thanks.

Tempting, but i think i rather cought up for the JL stealthbox. The W6V2 is a very good sub, its 12" and its driver side location.

W6V2 is also popular, so you can always sell it and go with a cheaper sub of choice. I just cant imagine a single 10 doing much for our cars.

It does a lot actually! I just installed mine a week ago. I installed it facing the cabin, against the backplate of a rear seat. I made the sides tight, so very little of sound can escape to the trunk.

Yes, in a front firing arrangement like that you get more of the sound into the cabin(specially infinite baffle where you get the full mechanical excursion of the motor-my fav!) , but these corner loaded enclosorues do sound very differently and alot is lost by the time it works its way though that sheet metal and rear seats. A single 10" just doesnt have the cone area to move that much air up front from back there.

Then again, it really is up to meeting personal expectations. I'm sure these will improve upon OEM by a longshot, just happens to be on the opposite side where it would be best suited. The price IS tempting...
