Parkers Z28, could you post a picture? It sounds like you have the kind of set up I am looking for. I don't want to lose trunk space putting in subs.

I can't figure how to post a picture on here so I uploaded one in my Z28 album on here
I will send you a e mail with a picture without the sub just a picture of the box there was a guy on here a while back that had one for sale don't cheap out on the box... look on ebay or crutchfield
you also will need a cd player with a volume control just for the sub and one that has a built in EQ
I bought the amp sub and cd player on Craigs list. If the cd player didn't have a volume control for the sub I would have to buy another amp for the 6. 1/2 speakers!!! lots of bass Its not the loudest
but it does the job very well

Yea, I have two JL audio 10" subs in by f-150. Very good clear sound. The camaro has a nice pioneer cd player with built in EQ. What do you think about the stealth box from subthump?

Go with a set of higher quality 10s, you'll have be able to give them the air space they need, I'd also recommend puting between 3/4 and 1 lb of polyfil per cu.ft. of air space the sub will be mounted in;minus sub displacement of course. This will maximize your bass for the given enclosure.
