i was just looking on the jbl website and they have a new 8" sub product # gto804 its kinda light and is only 100 dollars so the employee price would be about 50. i will be talking to him later today because he has my new amp and sub, so ill let you guys know, these speakers would come with a warranty.

As another option, how about a lightweight bandpass enclosure mounted to the floor with the port firing throut the rear deck? Total weight shouldn't be much more than 20 lbs. It might have a few extra pounds, but it would have a lower center of gravity.

Actually, total weight of enclosure and subs should be closer to 15 lbs than 20 lbs.

I think that would be awesome, although I personally would prefer vented to bandpass, but cool either way

That would also be an option, the advantage to a bandpass is its entire output can be directly ported into the cabin and the problem with most bandpass subs is they are inproperly tuned. In this case, we can adjust for the platform and make sure it's tuned properly.

But then what would I do with my silly 6-month-in-the-making horn sub, lol?

Use it as a computer sub. Next question?

I like the bandpass setup, but will it clear strut tower braces?

I thought about that last night, I would seriously doubt it but I have never done measurements. If anyone with a brace could pull some measurements for me, I could see if it could be worked around.

From what i've seen most rear braces sit in the middle to the top of the strut tower. Making it clear that would be tricky, but I think do-able... You'd definitely need some good measurements though.
