The aluminum cone looks very nice and the thick rubber surround is going to just bounce to the beat.  I&#8217;m actually undecided at this point whether or not the sub is going to go into my GTI or whether it&#8217;s going to be for the home theater.  It&#8217;s a tough choice since I think the sub is ideally suited for either application; small sealed box, or moderately large parted box.  Either way I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be happy with it.  The stereo in my VW is stock now, but I have plans to get one of the new Alpine decks, like the CDA-9883 with the fast iPod interface.  I&#8217;ve got a 50&#215;4 amp sitting in my bedroom, haven&#8217;t had the need (or the will) to break down the interior of my car to get a 4 gauge wire from the battery to the hatch, not to mention the 3 pairs of RCA cables.  It just seems like a lot of work, and I just barely got the car so it&#8217;s still new to me, and having everything stock is good, it&#8217;s clean, and it works, although the stock stereo is absolute crap.  I&#8217;m hoping that with just a new deck it will sound a little better with the stock component speakers, because it&#8217;s the easiest thing to change out.  I&#8217;m thinking about getting a set of PE Reference 4 ohm 6&#8243; speakers to replace the stock ones, since they are inexpensive but should sound way better than the cheap paper cones that are in there now.  I&#8217;ve got the 8 ohm Reference Series 6&#8243; and they sound really good, what little I&#8217;ve listened to them.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, whether the sub ends up in my car or in the house, you&#8217;ll be sure to find all the details and lots of pics right here. Starting out with a few pics of this sweet sub.  Aside from the weak stamped steal frame, there is nothing but superb workmanship throughout the design and assembly of this driver.  It&#8217;s going to bump and it&#8217;s going to move some serious air.
