I'm not sure these slim line subs came in a 10", but I'm checking. The 12s are only 2.44 inches deep, and they only need a .5 cubic ft box. Ideal for the behind the seat set up. I'm building my boxes right now.

Just got word back that these slim subs are available in the 10" size. Same price as the 12s though.

Ironically, he doesn't have any more amps that would be suitable to run these subs properly. Your best bet would be to check your local craigslist for good used amp suitable for the sub. My local list is loaded right now with (cheap) amps from people needing to scrape cash together. Sign of the economic times I guess. But to answer the other part of your question, a 12" sub and 5.25" component set would run you $160 plus any addition shipping expense over the built-in $15 allowance. So if shipping on my end costs $20 to Canada, I'll only charge $5 extra for a total of $165. Hope that makes sense.

So I just stumbled across your post here. I have a couple of questions. You do have this component set up available? And you will build the speaker and set them up for easy install for 75.00? What speaker are you using or did I miss that? Also you have these in your car? How would compare them to a standard speaker set up or higher end non component speaker? like a high end 4x10 replacement? As for the subs these will fit behind the seat with grills on with only one up from the farthest position? How do they sound? I might want both types. Component and Sub. So will a standard higher end 2 channel amp suffice to power these subs? Thanks in advance

Yes, I have a couple of the Blaupunkt 5.25 component sets left. The $75 includes me making the plates (MDF) and installing the speakers into them. On your end there will be a little modification to the opening in your dash. Very easy to do with a dremel tool. You'll need to make a little clearance for the basket of the 5.25 driver as it doesn't quite let the plate sit down flush. You will also need to use a couple speed nuts to fasten two of the mounting points for the plate. The other two holes will line up perfect. These Blaupunkt component sets also have the crossover built into the 5.25 driver chassis, so you don't have to worry about mounting a crossover somewhere under your dash.

I am currently running these in my daily driver. I love them. They are crisp and clean sounding with a very balanced stage. I am also running base blockers on them because I'm running one of the 12" subs. If you go with a sub, I'd recommend base blockers on the components, but it's your choice. I was running the 2 way Pioneer 4x10s, before these, and there really isn't much comparison. These components are way better.

The sub beats very well. I'm running the sub off of it's own amp (Cadence) and the components off the CD decks amp (45w Pioneer DEH 47). From a power stand point, I can blow myself out of the car (I'm running Infinity plates in the B pillars). I'm getting too old for those kind of volume pressures. But at modest volume levels, I've never had a Fiero sound system sound so well.

On the sub behind the seat, I'm thinking about revising the encloser somewhat. I'm going to go ahead an open up the cavity on the passenger side so I can make my box thinner. I'm thinking one inch thinner will give the sub a little more clearance from the seat back. At higher volume, there needs to be a little room for the air to move between the sub and seat.
