Question Sub suggestions

I've got 2 amps in my car, both mounted on the rear seats in my 1999 mustang GT coupe. One amp for the mids/tweets, the other is for subs. I need some suggestions for a subwoofer/enclosure that would fit in my car without me having to remove rear seats or take out my spare tire. Also, I want to be able to remove the enclosure easily if I ever need to access the spare tire. I want quality, and I want it to be loud, but I would really like to be able to put the enclosure in through the rear rather than throw the rear seat opening. What's the loudest/cleanest setup you think I could do in my car? All suggestions are welcome. Single or double sub setups will be fine.

i installed a pair of 10" alpines (type-R) [http://www.google.com/products/catal...AcQ8wIwADgA#p] in my friends jeep. im no sound expert but i thought they sounded pretty freakin awesome. im only going single.

for enclosures there a couple options. i've seen some that go in the corners (1 in each corner) to the rear of the car near the tail lights, that take up the least amount of useable space i feel. then there's others that sit right behind the seat.. custom boxes or even car specific boxes are gunna fit better than some of those wal-mart "universal" boxes.

how much bass you lookin for? do you have a budget? what specific amps are you running?

I'm not on a budget, and i'm wanting to push about 1000 watts or so to the sub(s). The amp I have is 1600 watts rms at 1-ohm, 1100 watts rms at 2-ohm, single channel. It's a hifonics amplifier. The other amp for my mids and tweets is a Lanzar Vibe 226 2-channel amp. I've seen a few boxes made for mustangs on ebay, but I'm not sure how good they are so I'm afraid to buy them.

Side mounts are great. Access to spare and plenty of room left.

yea i love the way they integrate, only problem is that some of them face foward and some people dont like that. this should suit your needs:

the subs i listed are 500 watts each IIRC. those are just 10's, you could always find 12's if you so desire. just search for alpine type-R 12". you'll pay a bit more though.

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY.... THOSE WHO PURCHASE BOTH BOXES WILL GET FREE SHIPPING FOR THE SECOND BOX!!!!"
