This was seconded by the former sales manager for the only Visions car audio department that didn't suck (IMO). She said that a pair of 10s or single 12 in a nice compact box will sound just as good and get just as loud.

I would listen to a few options before buying.
And yes, I think Alpine nuked it because it didn't sell very well.

The whole idea behind the PLT-5 was to give you the output of two 10" woofers in a very small package, which I think it achieved quite nicely. Sure you can do similar configurations and get similar results, but I think you're missing the point. This was designed for people that want a simple solution without having to figure out which sub/amp/box combo is the best....they just want something that is simple to hook up, doesn't take up a lot of space, and gives great sounding bass.

Retails at Crutchfield for $700..Canadian.
Im into it at a local shop for just over $600..and a wiring kit..and whatever else free I can get..heh.

Speaking of the wiring kit..does it really make a difference, say going with a Alpine kit..versus a Stinger kit..or any other kind? They recommend 8 gauge for it as well.

Just finally got a chance to hook everything up this week, the output from that little package is wicked..if you are looking for somthing to not eat up space but wtill want great sound quality, definitely check this one out.
