So for a lightweight deck sub are you talkin a lightweight box, or is there such a thing as a lightweight subwoofer on the market? I can make a box, but would prefer a free-air deck sub realy.

livinsvt,
at this point, any option will be considered. there are lightweight subs, relatively speaking.

how about a simple all in one install package for someone wanting a rear deck sub... like the TangBand 6.5" driver and an MDF mounting board and amp combo?

I would love a lightweight rear deck sub. Right now I have a 12" in a particle board box that I never have in the car because it kills trunk space and it's too heavy to race with anyway. But, I really miss it because my 4.5" speakers are obviously completely incapable of creating any bass. So if you could get a nice, light 6" or 8" sub that would add negligible weight (after removing material for it to fit in), for a reasonable price (a $75-$100 speaker is good enough for me), I would be very interested.

I'd be in for atleast the 6.5" kick's. The complete rear deck sub setup sounds like something I'd like so I can ditch my 15" sub/heavy box, I'm more into SQ anyway. A little more info or pics of the prototype would be cool!
Great idea for a GB

I did the rear deck sub setup a couple weeks ago, some of you probably saw my post in pics and videos. I don't want to clutter this thread with pictures so i'll put a link to my photobucket page, that has pics to what I did for my rear deck sub. All of the pics for that are on the first page (at least I think so) Feel free to browse through the gallery, almost all of the pics are car stuff. I've got some of my opt. tb, plexiglass heatshield, etc...
Maybe the pictures could give you an idea of something that people might be interested in...
Here's the link... Photobucket Link
Oh yea, it sounds really good, i'm very happy with the setup. It can't be too heavy either... I'd guess between the sub, amp, and extra sound deading probably 10-15lbs. for the setup... Pretty light really...
EDIT: I don't think that link is gonna work... Here are some links to pics, just in case...
