behind your pass seat..hmm do you mean on the floor where your feet go, or on the actual bench seat in the rear?

your going to need a sub that can play in a very small sealed box if you go for it on the floor. So look for the sub specs where it says Rec. Sealed Volume and that will give you an idea of what you have to work with.

Star by taking measurments of the area to be used, and calculate a general volume that you may be able to use, and start lookin for subs that will work in the size

you can fit any sub in there pretty much.. just build the box more or less to the specs and fitting to the area you have.. I say just go to some shops and listen to a few different subs in your price range and decide on one.. I think a good amp might be out of your price range unless you find one used..

if you want to pay for materials, I can help you out with building a box..

build the box yourself. itll cost you way less and itll be a good quality box

whats the total airspace you got? you dont wanna stuff a sub into it or it wont sound too great, polyfill will help to a certain extent though

i think u should take a step up and get P3's over the P2's...they should be going on sale with the new gear coming in

the p3 packs 500rms + 1000max
i have this setup and its not overboard...it gets the job done if ur not thinking about joining audio comps and stuff......but its far from shy and gets u noticed, but if u decide to stick with P2's its still a good buy and decent subs for ur $

i am still awaiting my car -06 Civic EX Coupe- b4 i can actually apply the mods i have

Thought id post here rather than starting a new thread, i have 2 MTX 12" 7500's. DVC. I had a line on a very lightly used Us amps MD2 for a great price but it fell through. What would be a good amp to run these to there full potential?

Kyle.
