You guys rule! (think kevin spacey playing with a remote control car in 'american beauty').
Thanks for all the advice... I think a single 12 might be the way to go. I'm looking for something that won't take up much trunk space, will sound good for jazz rock and some electronica, and something that won't cost me an arm and a leg.
As for what I've already got, I just (a couple of weeks ago) finished putting in my JVC KD-SH99 mp3 deck. It has a dedicated sub preout, so I know that part will be easy.
I have a couple more questions --
1) Do I run the remote turn-on for the amp down the right side with the RCA wires, or down the left side with the main power lines for the amp? Is there enough voltage/amperage in that line to cause interference with the audio signal?
2) Should I just say 'F**K IT!' and save up the dough to get a brand name sub professionally installed?
I enjoy doing things myself, but if this turns into a traumatic experience, I'll never be happy with the sub I put in.
Thanks again!
Brian
