Amp/Sub question on 2012 Convertible
So I've been searching the threads both here in the Vert section and the radio section and everything seems to be older posts? So I was wondering what Amp/Sub combination people are using more recently? I am just wanting to upgrad the Amp and sub but keep the stock look and all my trunk space. Have tried to call ******** but no answer? I have the MyLink NAV radio with BA and am very happy with it, just wanting to improve the sound a little bit. Also, not wanting to spend a mint here either! Just a decent amp/sub combination?

I am planning on using the ******** harness and attaching a powered bazooka sub in the trunk. I've had friends with these in the past and they always sounded good and can easily be removed for space. I like that the bazooka is just one tube with amp built in.

I also plan on using the ******** harness, but I am thing of just replacing my stock Amp with a 5 channel Amp and then replacing my stock sub behind the rear seat with an aftermarket sub. I have pretty much narrowed the amp down to either the JL XD700/5 or the Alpine MRX-V70? Just no one knows a model number of the sub that will fit in the Vert stock location?

Yeah, I have decided to go with the XD700/5 for certain. Now just need to decide on which sub I need? Has to need less than 7" clearance from what I understand?

Perfect fit (with the adapter). I lined the whole enclosure with Fat mat and also used Pillow fill on either side to reduce the size of the space. I haven't upgraded my stock amp yet,(non Ba) and I wired the sub for 1 ohm operation and it's a great improvement. It should sound even better with your BA amp!
