Ok, I'm going to throw out what I would love to see offered for the 80. It sounds like you are just the guy to let us know if it is feasable.
I would be great if somebody could fab up on a small-midsized run basis, an enclosure out of mdf or glass, that would fit where the stock 5.25" free-air "sub" currently sits in the rear quarter panel. There have been people that have done larger enclosures, but I want something that fits behind the stock panel.
Based on what I have measured, an 8" sub in small sealed enclosure would easily work. It would also be possible to use a 10" but it would have to work in a .3-.4 cu/ft enclosure, and last time I looked you would end up with a QTC of 1.0+ trying to push any of the subs in this sized box, even the newer ones designed for small enclosures.
For guys like me that don't need to rock the world, but want some good fundamental bass, it seems there should be no problem finding a good sounding, moderate priced 8" sub that can produce 105 db levels in the car with a moderate power input (100 watts RMS?) from a small amp behind the same panel. This could then be used in conjunction with the stock head unit and amp for the mains, a "high" power head unit for the mains, or a 5 channel amp to drive everything.
So is something like this possible? Would it be possible to do for $300 per unit with driver if you did a run of say 10 of them? (I figure 20 people would be "interested", but 10 would actually show up and put of the money before the run is made).
