The s2k was a little difficult to figure out since driving a convertible changes acoustics. I went with an Alpine headunit, Focal components, alpine amplifiers and ultimately decided on a Sony 1200W (max) 10 inch sub in a hidden box in the trunk (rather than alpine).

The Focals are incredible but they cost a pretty penny. You can pick up the k2s on ebay for 500-700 for a set -- I would recommend them heavily but price shop. I would have gone with something a little more midstream in a sedan but I needed something I could pump ampage to so you could hear it with the top down.

Anyone have experience reverse mounting subs? The hidden box is small and doesn't sound deep. I wonder if reverse mounting it might help since the speaker magnet width and depth are large -- take up most of the box. Thoughts?
