honestly, mainly having the room right there really. along with probably one of the easiest wiring jobs i'll ever do. currently there is an old pioneer component system up front and it's really missing the low's.
it's only going to be an 8 in a slotted box. i have two alpine type r 8's sitting on the shelf- i bought them for who knows what years ago and never did shit with them. i think van is going to get one and the boat may get another.
i was thinking this but just looked at recommended specs...
11 X 8.5" X 20"
that's a good sized fucking box for a tiny 8" wooofer
