GAF is awesome in that there's always somebody who knows something about something. I'm sure we could have a great discussion on the migration patterns of monarch butterflies. But for today, I need car audio help.

At home theater forums, pretty much any time that someone asks about a good budget subwoofer, the Dayton 10" powered subwoofer from Parts Express (http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/psho...tnumber=300-632) is immediately suggested. This subwoofer is consistently praised for sounding much better than its price would indicate. I have one myself and it's great.

I'm looking for a car audio equivalent.

My Kenwood KAC-8401 is currently using 2 channels to power the front speakers and I would like to bridge the other 2 channels for 1 180-watt RMS channel (according to Kenwood specs) to power a subwoofer.

What subwoofer and what kind of box should I get? I don't want loud and boomy. Tightness is very important to me.

Thanks for your help!
 
Make sure all of your internal panels are tight. Otherwise everything will be vibrating. Which is evil! Are you based in the UK? I know some good suppliers…
