Default Found a pretty nice looking speaker box on ebay...

What do you guys think, would this hit hard in my C4? I might have to buy it!!! Its way cheaper than that Innovative Audio guy, and seems to look a lot better too.

Looks pretty cool, but I'd be interested in seeing it installed. I can't figure out from the picture if you would need to keep the back seats down with it installed. Two 10" MB Quarts with adequate power would hit incredibly hard! Check out Audison amps.

Looks nice. I saw one like this at the dealership, and it is definitely noticeable - even from afar, almost intrusive. The 3 sub box from Car Audio Innovations is virtually seemless with the car. And, the triple 6.5" JL woofers in the sub box is plenty of base and they sound mighty nice for much less than the box on eBay. But, as you pointed out, the eBay box is cheaper than the custom level 3 box from CAI, but IMO 2X10" is a bit much for a 911 .

looks as though the main portion of the setup fits in the dip behind the seats where it's basically in inaccessible area anyway. I'm very interested in this item...thanks for sharing. I know they recommend an amp in the ad....but any other suggestions? Also...where would you install the extra amp? Ad indicates that the setup will not effect the rear seats at all....

2x10's would be fine. Did you order it? If so please let all of us know what the fit and finish is like. I'm looking for a sub box myself. Pesonally my preference would be 1x12, but I don't know if that would fit behind the rear seats.

Man I am close to ordering one too! I talked to the guy, sounds like a perfect match for 996's! Doesnt bother seats! And its in stock ready to ship! I wonder if he has more than one!

Oh ya and as far as the amp, 99.9 percent of people put them in the trunk, easy to install near the battery. I heard 6's and they werent even close enough for me. But I love loud rock and booming pop too. Its all a pref thing. I hate beets, but other people love to eat them. If you guys have questions talk to Adam he is the owner of the shop, he seems interested in putting out a sharp product for a decent price.

Check this out as well.

Smaller woofers usually provide tighter bass & are more "musical". The 10" will be a little more "boomy", so it just depends on the sound you are looking for. Keep us posed. I'm interested in hearing what you end up with. I had a whole system spec'd out for my car about 6 months ago and then changed my mind and put the money into a set of PSS9 coilovers instead.

I heard www.caraudioinnovations.com JL 6's in someone else's car, sounded more like mid bass. Not sure, so I think I will go 10's. Ill let you guys know!

That response isn't Tim being rude. Actually, that response is more like his natural disposition. You should get a taste of his REAL rude!

See, Tim, I'm sticking up for you!
