just havent got a clue on how to do a door card build to hold em....n what amp to power em

right depends on your budget m8.

Theres plenty of room to build a box on the back of your door card so thats not a problem.

The subs are a 4 ohm load, and are 75w rms each.

Really therefore u want a good brand amp with a good 100w rms a channel at 4 ohm.

If u can afford it i reccomend an Audison LRX 2.250 at £330.

If u cant afford it, a Genisis Profile Two wud just about do it, at £199.99.

how much you got mate ???

I would say a single 10" W3 will do the job.. amp it fully (DONT cut corners) and yuo will be rewarded with some super bass ;)

and how hard will it be to build a sealed enclosure for these in my rear door cards?

what amp would be best for 2 of these jl 8wo's?
and i have a alpine 9812rb mp3 head unit would this cope with powering a set of alpine comps up front?

in that case,i would deffo reccomend a couple of 8W0's i think u would be very surprised with the bass they make from such a smal sub.

5" comps..., if u want bassy comps u need 6.5" comps, but still they wont be anything special. Focal Polykevlar comps are quite bassy, but cost a fair whack at £270 - £650

if u want really light then 6" subs are better than nothing, and dont use crappo 6x9/s.

personally mate, i would either go for some 5" comps, which way hardly anything and amp them up and it will sound pretty good :thumbs: or go down the 6x9 route and amp them up also :)

he means lighweight im sure

If u want some decent bass with litttle weight, try a couple of JL 8W0's.
Put one in each rear door card, they will be plenty.

Quite cheap to, about £70 each.

Maybe he means light soundwise, ie, enough bass, but not so much that you can hear more bass than treble?

How much is a bit & how light? Focal make 5" subs which can be fitted anywhere ie. glove box.
dont really understand this weight savin thing on a road car too much...r u using this car on tracks too?
maybe those really flat subwoofers but ive 4gotten who makes them.
