Okay, I've tried to be polite but now I will be more direct. Watch your mouth or you will find yourself taking a forced vacation from this forum.

Do I make myself clear? (a simple yes or no is all I expect to hear from you)

I think your being a tad bit ridiculous for someone that's a mod. Your supposed to be the person that deals with drama, not invoke it.

But whatever I think people doing stuff like this (car audio projects) on their own is neat.

And what are you adding to the conversation? Just because we are moderators doesn't mean we can't have a little fun. The post that was made by my WhiteBird was in good fun and completely viable. It's an age old rule for using a forum. Post pics and you will get opinions. How dumb would it be if you said "Check out my pics, but please don't reply. If you do though, only post comments I will like"

Give me a break. Telling a mod to stick a dick in his mouth is out of line. Anyone else that wants to add to the flame can join the vacation.

i'm sure you already know this, but bigger doesn't always mean better (or louder).

there's no need to go up to 18's, unless you just wanna prove that dual 18's can be done in an f-body.

if loud is what you're going for, just get you a couple of JL Audio 13w7's powered by about 1000 - 1500 watts each, and you'll be doing good not to blow the back glass out of the car

two 18s would deff be louder, i could supply them more power and not worry about the physical limits of the sub and it would move more air, meaning louder and more depth. with shitty tuning, ya you can have a single sub make rain compared to 2 15s with shitty tuning or a bad box design/placement. however i know 2 18s would be an upgrade.

if i do decide to move to a smaller but more performance sub, i would go with Elemental's new 13av. its comparable to a W7 but at a fraction of the price. although at that point i would need to upgrade from my BP1200s to some bigger ****, and then im outa my range for cost. so far ive spent less than 1200 bucks on my entire stereo, and theres nothing i havent touched in it yet, moving to some better subs and more powerful amps might be more efficient and could deff get louder, i would easily drop another 1k for that, whereas upgrading to 2 18s realistically costs me about 50 bucks worth of wood.

hahahaha two 13w7s will not blow the glass out of a car.

All other things being equal, bigger is always better I think two 18s in an f-body would be sweet. Of course it will look like ***, but you can't exactly make a clean setup in our tiny cars with 18" speakers.

I am also debating on putting 2 6x9's where the amps are mounted since i dont have any rear hatch speakers in my 94. But who knows.

I'll stick to stealthboxes. Can't see why anyone would do a back seat box.

I wish I could help you out and give you some pointers, but I bought the car with the system in it already. Whoever had it before me went to great extents to make everything in the car look factory installed. The doors have MB Quart separates with the tweeters installed in the panel next to the side view mirrors, and the sail panel woofers have been replaced with MB Quarts and tweeters mounted above the heads of the rear passengers. The sub isn't anything big, it's just a 10 inch Fosgate. The system isn't loud as in bass, but the sound is VERY balanced, sharp, and precise. The bass hits hard enough for rap music, but never drowns out the actual music like some dual 12 inch systems I have heard. There is actually a cover on my custom box that hides the amps and the sub so no one can tell what it is from the outside. My HU is an Alpine TDA-7563 with a subwoofer equalizer mounted above it. I have an Alpine 12 CD changer installed in the factory location in the trunk. My system is designed more for SQ than SPL.
