I've got my car ready for a subwoofer to be put in, but I'm wondering what kind I should get for my monte carlo. I'm wanting mine put inside the trunk.

 

Ive used SPL comp subs in the past and couldnt be happier.. Had two 15s at one time and will go back to them if I ever put that crap back in my car..

 

The question is far too vague. What are you adding a sub for? What kind of music do you listen to? You say you've got the car ready for a sub, does that mean you've already run wiring, if so what Guage power? What is your budget?

If you're just starting out, your best bet is probably to go to a local audio shop and let them demo various setups in their demo room. Just keep in mind 2 things:
-They only carry certain brands so there is other stuff out there that may work better for you.
-The audio response in a big open room is nothing like it will be in your car. It'll just help you take the first step to seeing what you like.


I worked in car audio for about 3 years and had numerous sub setups in my monte:
-2x 10" bottom end Pioneers in a bandpass box with a Jensen amp
-Same subs mounted in the rear deck
-Changed to Earthquake dbx 12"s on a Directed 1100d first in a small sealed box, then to a custom made ported box
-Swapped the subs for 12" Hurricane Powerstrokes on an Earthquake D2 in a custom ported box.
-Swapped that setup for 2 12" Atomic ELE subs on the D2.
​​​​​-Built a custom ported fiberglass box to replace the rear seats
-Went back to a large custom trunk ported box and upgraded to an Earthquake D3 amp.

But I was into dB competitions and listening to mostly electronic music and occasional hip hop. Someone who listens to rock and wants a more balanced setup would hate what I ended up with.
