bah, 15's... the only reason people buy 15's is because then they can say "yeah, i've got 15's".... they sound like crap. they don't produce nearly as tight bass as 10's or 12's do... i've got a piar of Diamond CM3 12's running on a kenwood 1000w amp (460 bridged @ 4 ohms), and it's killer... it's too much bass. i'm thinking about toning it down to a pair of tens ion my next car, or maybe one 12... i like the music to sound good, i'm not too concerned about being able to be heard a half mile away. i mean, you CAN hear my car from a good distance, but that's because i wanted it that way when i bought the stuff. right now i'm putting a switch in so i can turn my subs off... sometimes i just don't want the bass at all.

don't get 15's. get 12's. a pair of 12's in a sealed box will fit perfectly in an s13 hatch... i suggest the R/T technology 2.5 cu. ft. box. fits right under the trunk cover.
