I have a Zenclosures box with 2x 10" and the amp all bolted to the box in the back. Yeah it's like having a dead hooker in the trunk. But once you start adding mods, you balance out the weight reduction there anyways. So it's not that big of a deal. Plus, unless you're building a full on track car, 200lbs isn't going to matter.

I second this. I have 1 Polk Momo 8" (the predecessor to the MM 80) in a ported box in my mazda and it hits plenty loud and deep. Even though it's 6+ years old it sounds like a modern day, high quality 10. Polks are a bit underrated by the marketplace.

On the Z I went big with two Boston Acoustics G5 10" powered by a Boston Acoustics GT-2300. It's pretty seriously overkill. Looks great though! One of these running about 300 watts would have been about perfect for everyday listening.

Sundown's SA-8 is an 8" and good for high SPL

JL Audio makes an 8w7 which is very good for both SQ and SPL. They also make an 8w3. Both are a little pricy
I have to check on the Sundown Sa-8 and the Poll Audio subs.

I already aware of the JL Audion subs. The 8w will not fit in the 370Z foam piece area but the 8W3 will but as you indicated they are pricey for what you get!
