    https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/h...woofers/ik-s10 For the subwoofer (more than likely)... seems a good unit. I bet it sounds great.

    Mine is a BSW unit that sits between the rear seats, but I'm considering another woofer... had been thinking about Audio Mobile (have that in another car), but will look at this one too.

    Cheers,

    I think it's this one as it definitely isn't the shallow woofer you linked to: https://www.audiotec-fischer.de/en/h...woofers/ik-w10
    Still seem to be suited for compact enclosures.

    Regards

      is it just me or is the linked ebay woofer box much larger than what OP posted? pics from the listing shows it extends into the trunk much more than OPs sub box from my perspective

        The picture you posted is of a 12" sub while the OP has the 10" version. The eBay listing has pics of both but no option to select which one.

          If you read the sellers main info-ad you'll see he has an option of extending the size, subject to application I guess, so it seems some buyers opted for a larger volume enclosure to enroach on trunk space and not such a stealth install. I guess if you want a 12 incher in the boot and value bottom end more than trunk space that makes sense.

          Regards

            This thread is incredibly helpful! Did you consider any amps that are less pricey? I have ordered the BavSound speakers, but don't want to shell out $2k for an amp. Even if you didn't, any guidelines about what I should be looking for would be very helpful as I am completely ignorant when it comes to car audio. My car has HK and an Avin Avant 4.

              I basically chose an amp with the correct amount of channel outputs, from a good store that I have a good relationship with. It just happened to be a bit of an advanced amp (and I also wanted something from the upper part of the shelf), I think the audio definitely benefits for it.

              A cheaper way would just be a smaller amp with less channels and perhaps do away with the 6x9's on the shelf, or alternatively, power these with a different amp again, but then with a slightly more complicated install. You can get 1 and 2 channel amps with power that are very small..

              Regards
