After measuring, it would seem as though I will most likely have to do a 12. I only have about 16 inches of height to work with, and I don't really feel like modding my car. Also, that way I will still have some trunk space for golf clubs. Looks like I'll be ordering an XCon 12 in the near future.

Ok, so I have my front stage ordered (see signature), and now I just have to decide what sub to go with.

I'm pretty much in a struggle between the IXL 12" and the XCon 12". To reiterate, either will be powered by a SAZ-1500D (1500 rms @ 1 ohm). Obviously, the XCon's are brand new, but they are being dubbed ICon's on steriods, and would take that amp perfectly. However, I'm comparing a $200 sub to a $500 sub. Should I shell out some cash and go for the XCon, or put that money I would save towards misc. stuff like sound deadening and wires?

I'm gonna throw 13W7 into the mix. 13W6v2 is more SQ than 13W7 but imo 13W7 is a serious sub and will take your 1500. Ya they do cost a bit, but man it will last you forever.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I ended up going with the IXL so I can put money towards sound deadening, wiring, etc. I am sad that I won't be able to try out the XCon, but being rattle free is more important in my books.
