The Audio System

The 12W6V2 will already pound your head into pulp in that size of a car.

Running this sub instead will save you a lot of dough. Its half of the price and you wont need that 1000 watt amp. The JL Audio 500/1v2 would be a perfect match and take less of a toll on your electrical system and wallet. Any more power than that is a waste and it your sub will last maybe a year before its cooked. Been there done that.

The HD series 4 channel amps are really the way to go. They are way more efficient, easier to install due to small size. You should look at the HD 900/5 amp. Its a beast of an amp for its minute size. I have one running in 3-channel mode at 500rms to the sub and 200 watts X 2 for the the front speakers.

I am running the rears off of the deck power for just a touch of rear fill. I feel the rear speakers make the music a bit more enveloping but most people dont bother with them. Its an old school trend that I have just never let go.
