Post about your stereo or ask questions regarding your current or future desired setups.

My first question, if anyone has any experience with them, what are tube subs like? I want some bass but I don't want to lose my boot.... thinking a bazooka tube sub might be the go, one unit, just wire it in.... that said, I am pretty sure i'll have to upgrade the head unit before I do this as I still have the stock unit.
 
Just get one of those ute subs that mount behind the seat, they're a small unit and sit right up against the seat in the black zone of the boot you don't use ;)

I'm getting the inspiration for my next setup from the r33 boot ;)
