That prolly would not work as good as you would like.

I have seen a fiero with one in the front and piped into the cabin. It was less than ok sounding

ok. thanks... thats what I thought. now if I went with the behind the seat mounting. based on these specs the RFs shouldwork. if my understanding is right. (I'm still not too sure about most of this, but I like to learn as I go)

Depends on how tall you and passengers are hehe.

Without cutting into the firewall like Khw did - you have to decrease leg room

I have seen guys get a fiberglass tube with an 8" sub shoved under the passenger side dash

If that actually works or sounds ok I may just go with something like that.

Cutting into the firewall the way I did gave me about 5" in depth if I remember correctly. I could have increased it if I made the box extend into the cab more, But I really wanted to limit the impact on seat travel as much as I could while still getting the sound I wanted. Granted that method isn't for everyone, and I wouldn't recomend it for someone with little to no experience constructing and installing enclosures. I'm not saying they couldn't do it, but it would be a challenge.

so you don't think I'm smart enough.... I'd have to agree. lol

taking a look at the options I'm guessing pappys, flat Boss amp/sub is probably looking like my best options since I'm not sure how much work I am going to be able to put into this. unless you guys have another option.

Sound should be an after thought, immerse yourself into getting your car road worthy - and things will start to fall into place

That should get you started...

You don't need to have a show winning system for it to sound good and be a pleasure to listen to. Also, you will learn that 2 different brands of very well respected, higher end speakers will sound entirely different. You kinda need to find what sounds good to you. Different strokes for different folks n all that...


Also, I can't vouch for the sub or the 3.5s I posted...

Nah, I'm not saying your not smart enough. I'm just saying it isn't easy.

From what I've read on here those who bought the Boss amplified sub like it.

A little more info please?

Are you talking wiring up the amp, or the woofer to the amp?

Aftermarket stero with RCA outputs or stock stereo?

What kind of amp?

Etc.

I'm planning on getting the boss bass1200, do I need to run separate power to it? what wires do i need to run from the radio to the sub? what is usually included, and what extra will i need?

Most likely you will have to run a seperate power wire from the battery to the Boss. You will need to run the accessories wire from the head unit to the Boss to tell it to turn on. You will need to run a set of RCA cables from the head unit to the Boss and then probably a short ground wire from the Boss to a close by grounding point ( probably one of the seat studs since it will be closest ). That should do it, shouldn't need to do anything else except mount the Boss behind the seat. However, I'd wait on purchasing the power wires until you get the unit, it may come with them. The RCA's on the other hand probably won't be included.
