Need some help with a sub and amp...
Right now I have an Alpine 7893 hu and JL xr650s front and rear just on the hus internal amp. It sounds great but I want to add a sub. I don't want the thing to crush or anything, just some filler bass to pick up where the speaker's mid-bass leaves off.
I was thinking a 10" jl sub in a sealed box, powered by a jl 250w amp. How does this sound?
Also, since this box isn't going to be very big, how do you think I should secure it in the trunk? I don't want it flying around back there.
Thanks guys.

That would be fine....although if you are doing a single sealed sub I'd go for a 12" for a little more bottom end.....
Your local Home Depot has a variety of L brackets you can use to bolt the box down....

hmmm...I was just looking on JLs site and I found this stealthbox with a 10" already in it. Anyone use one of these? How do they sound?

and use L brackets to secure box to board and the weight of it should be enough from having any slidding probs.....
that board actually helps level you box at a nice position.......whereas without it its on a slight incline....
I myself have to work on that after i build my custom box for my 12"....
