- DIY! There are alot of experienced builders on the forum. PM me and I'll help you nail down an appropriate woofer and box specs. Even if you're squeamish about cutting wood, carpentry shops (or the saw guy at Home Depot) will cut MDF for a modest price.

@midnightfrolic - how is the CompVR 12 working out for you? 400w is just enough to get a headache on long drives, without generating unnecessary attention.
sorry for late reply, been on vacation. just got back.

the CompVR12 is awesome!!!. I especially love the remote module that comes with it. I can turn down the subwoofer without having to turn down the volume in low noise zones (residential areas). It kicks hard as H3LL! I can now enjoy low volume songs better

downside is loss of 2/3 trunk space. The box ONLY fits in the middle of the trunk.

EDIT: if anyone was interested in the loaded box I got, click the linky below. need at least 8 gauge wire kit also btw.
