Assuming trunk space isn't a concern, what are the benefits of jumping up to a 10 or 12" sub? (I like the idea of buying the sub/box/amp already configured and ready to be plugged in)
Higher efficiency, lower distortion (through requiring less excursion for a given power level), better low frequency extension below 50hz (depends on the sub of course), more total output.

The size difference is quite minimal really since I can just make the box taller. Not like you'll put anything on top of it otherwise.

I can create a preconfigured kit for any sub/amp/enclosure combination or design.

So for ~$500 it would be silly to buy anything other than your kits?

You wouldn't get the same quality (build and sound), I can guarantee you that much.

I also have fiberglass enclosures now which are molded fit into the cavity in the rear driver side of the trunk if you want something that doesn't use any trunk space.

Great write up extreme!

Im very interested in your services. Would you be willing to install? I see you live in SW Chicago. I live 3 hours away in Michigan and would be very willing to drive just to have you profession opinion and services.

Out of the 3 options which would allow the most room for a set of golf clubs as that I golf all the time so this is very important

Sorry about that. I've been dealing with a move, a flooded basement bathroom, and insurance demanding I fix "trip and fall" hazards on my sidewalk and driveway or they'd cancel my policy. It has been a busy last few months. Now, I'm on vacation.

I can help out when I get back home. I'll be back in Indiana toward the end of the month and can start an install toward the middle or end of July, weather permitting. I do have a garage, but don't care to do work upside down in a car in 90 degrees and humidity if you know what I mean.

I still havent decided if I am gonna use his or build my own since I am concerned about mounting depth. What is the mounting depth with xr baffles?
Just a tad over 3". Baffle is 1.25" thick so you could measure the sheet metal to the window glass from that.

I'm debating whether to use the subs from my sunfire or find something on the smaller side. Is there anything anyone could recommend? I hava a 1lt with the base radio, could I utilize the 6x9 openings or is it not worthwhile? Ultimate goal is to add some bass to the Cruze.
