can't you just lower the gains?

i removed it completely a long time ago. It is just too big and old. Just asking to see if you know of any smaller high quality subs.

If you don't mind me asking what type of headunit and or front speakers are you currently running ?

First off, thank you everyone for the replies.

alpine something or other i bought when i bought the sub amp and had them install it all. I think it was around $400, and it came with an ipod adapter free, which was nice. The shop ran 8 gauge wire and the h/u had a specific slot for the sub. The amp was dirt cheap 150 watt amp, i don't even know the maker, the sub was a 10" JL audio sub that came from my father's system which he bought new in the early 90's.

The other speakers are stock.

In case of most 8 inch drivers you would need a pair or a vented box which will not be smaller than 0.5ft3

Nice SQ sub - works well in 14-15 liters which is a pretty small enclosure

The problem wasn't the size, it was the output. 150 gave me a headache after half an hour listening, which is so annoying. So basically i am looking for something smaller that still brings out the lows yet doesn't pound it at you full time. The one you linked to looks interesting and def inexpensive, but I don't see a simple output, or if it is there, i missed it.

Found it, 150 watts. That is the problem, for me it is too much for the Yaris, which is incredibly anoying.

If so,... I go to Dartmouth MA, once a week, that's not far away from the cape! I'll be more than happy to let you try any of my subwoofers.

I still am, that would be cool, but I know your subs are normal sized. Even when I turned down the sub through the h/u, and the gain on the amp it still gave me a headache. So annoying. I had a 6 speaker system on my computer with an 8" sub that put out a couple hundred watts and it never gave me an issue, so I am guessing it is the small size of the Yaris interior that is the problem for me. I know just enough audio to know i you run a sub at too low a gain you can break it, so I would be looking for something that could run fine on super low watts, maybe only 50 or so. Do they even make anything like that anymore? To be honest it is the reason I haven't even bothered to think about upgrading the speakers, if i spend the money to get a good set and then can't ever listen it would frustrate me to no end.

I can make you change your mind and way of thinking, just by listening at the I6SW (a 6.5" woofer in a ported box) will blow your mind! not your ears. This little puppy is amazing.

We can also try...

the IDq12 in a sealed box
the 10" Bachooka
and 10" kickers

all good if installed properly, for example if I put the IDq12 in the trunk facing towards the back right corner, sounds amazing, but put in in the rear seat facing forward and it a shame, embarrassed of the woofer when playing in the rear seat facing forward

I'll replay to other comments later today, some thing going on right now at work (o:

Mmm, are you still driving without rear seats?

I'm sure that would give me a head-ache too!

I'm going to have to take you for a ride!

That peerless works in almost the same enclosure of one of my Kicker Solo-baric 10" in a sealed box of 0.66 cf But you need a lot of power to make them come alive!









There is an Alpine SWR-843D Type-R 8" Subwoofer with a big reputation in the DIYMA that looks very promising in a small box, from $100 to $150 it's not bad either.



TOO MANY OPTIONS!!!!
