Can my susupension handle this?

I want to get a 15, but I've been seeing more and more people complain about their stereo weight. I have a 96 golf, and want to throw a 15 into a 3.5-4 cubic foot ported box, with two amps in my hatch. Is this gonna be ok, or should I get a 12 instead?

If you're worried about wieght, you need a bigger car. Or a diet.

well a 15 and 3-4 cube box won't weigh as much as a passenger (adult), so don't worry about it.

Ya, I think the weight difference between a 12 in a 2.5 cubic box and a 15 in a 4 cubic foot box isn't that huge, should be fine. I went ahead and ordered the gear that I didn't have in my sig. I'm super stoked now to get it all!!!

Keep away from McDonalds and all those fat chicks and you should be alright.... Use fibreglass on the bottom of the box in the wheel well area. This will give you more available room and save on weight.
