$1900 budget for friend's stereo.

My buddy couldn't qualify for the loan; should have seen it coming. He's still pretty young and doesn't have a credit history yet. No SUV for him. Apparently if he got a cosigner he could get a smaller loan for a car, but that's gonna be down the line.

So that's the bad news, and with all of this adding up...

• Toying with the idea of buying another Yaris
• 0% APR up to 60 mos at the local Toyota dealer
• My newly found debt freeness
• The 3rd gear in my Cavalier's manual transmission acting... suspicous...

...I'm very sure I'll probably have a Yaris by the end of the week; and I am very interested in this Maelstrom.

I have two JL-500/1 in my Cavalier I'll be yanking soon, those seem like they would be a good choice for powering the Maelstrom, so I have to ask, think I could get the 21" to fit in a 3dr HB?

with the seats positioned all the way forward... yeah.... But do you really want a sub using 90% of your cargo room?

Without tints in your car i wouldn't even suggest you go with such a big sub since it'll be hard to hide. Honestly... a single 12 or 15 ported should do the trick.

Those Jl amps would be a good fit tho... can't they drop to 1.5ohm? that'd be perfect, one on each coil.

Keep in mind, there is an 18" maelstrom too, for $440, which is still an incredible beast.

If you were serious about the 18 or 21 inch.... i'd say, make friends with somebody who's put a wall into a car before.... and go that route. the 21" in a wall would still allow for a good amount cargo room in the back, You'd have to take out the rear seats tho. Walls add a lot of weight tho.... and that will be reflected on the life of your suspension.
