Here is a long one guys.
I owned a 2005 Scion TC. I ordered all of this for my car.

- JVC headunit
http://www.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL027445&pathId=54&page=2

- alphasonic PCT6551
http://www.alphasonik.com/frameset.html

- xsite amp #1 XA4200
http://www.xsiteusa.com/frameset.html

- xsite amp #2 XAD1K
http://www.xsiteusa.com/frameset.html

Now I just need a Sub to compliment the amp. 1000 watts @ 1ohm.

What do you think would sound best in a hatchback 12" or 15"? and list the exact model that you recommend. thanks

Cannot comment on any of that stuff u chose but for a 1000wrms SQL sub i'd choose a IDMAX http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2031&C FID=860197&CFTOKEN=33913608

i read alot of reviews & its supposed to be really also according to the guys here . Thinking about getting 1 of it or 2 12s IDQ for myself .

Been said that L7 is a strictly SPL sub & ID is more of a SQ sub but can get SQL if ported properly ...

Can someone link me to the cheapest place online to get the sub with warranty

if i'm not mistaken, Sounddomain is the only authorized online dealer for Image Dynamics, so that will probably be the only place you can get them warrantied online, and they are currently out of stock of the 12" IDMAX's.:-(

MB Quart is famouis for its smaller speakers/components & some of their amps are good - don't know about their subs.

Alpine subs are said to be good - u could try looking @ them ........

Also - i'm not dissing your choice of headunits but that price range alot these guys on here will suggest ALPINE , ECLIPSE , PIONEER PREMIER based on their experiences . JVC is not as popular as these brands .

I got all of the stuff listed above for $930 shipped. Does that change the price range?

The headunit was $300 shipped.

So u already bought all of the above u listed ??????

For $300 u can get almost top of the higher end of any of those HUs listed above for eg Premier 860 $309 only model higher would be 960 .....

Alpine is the most popular followed by Premier i'd say then Eclipse & Clarion maybe

Oh we have alot of that where i'm from & its 1 of the CHEAPEST brands currently around & its real beginners stuff - don't even think i'd want that for like 10 bux ....

Look @ Alpine , RE Audio , Kicker comps , RF p3 , Orion P series subs etc ......

Say... Audioburn gives you a white glove, do they give you the chick to help you "install" your system?
