What's the best sub option?

  • Leave it! It's not a lot of bass, but it makes for a 'balanced' system.

MS3
I've recently been troubleshooting a Bose rattle problem (see "Rattle in/under BOSE sub" and post if you have ideas) and it's made me reconsider an audio upgrade for my MS3.

I've been fairly happy overall with the Bose stereo although not hugely impressed. I might like more bass, but I don't necessarily want to ruin what might be a 'balanced' stereo.

I've posted three options. Let me know what you think! I normally would've installed my 10's by now, but I didn't feel like doing the wiring.. but holidays bring free time.
 
I have two 12" Kickers each pushing about 1300 RMS, but I have it tuned so it sounds great with the stereo, only issue I don't like is that I have no room in my hatch and I want to go something stealth now.
 
the hatch space issue is one of my primary concerns. that being said, my Alpines sound great, and i have them mounted in a JL PowerWedge.
 
I have 2 12" W3's, but just running 1. in a single box. The other ones on my shelf as a spare. Hatches make bass a lot easier to deal with that's why I opted for just running one.
