So I looked again at the Polk 400.4 and it looks at it should serve the purposes intended. 75w to the front components and 200w to the 10" Momo sub (conservative numbers).

I really want to keep it as simple as possible and as stealth as possible.

I think the 400.4 will serve your purpose. If you want to upgrade later you can always grab another amp to drive the sub and bridge the 400.4 to the mids... But im pretty sure you will be satisfied with your current plan.

An 8 can sound pretty good, depending on the enclosure and sub you go with. I've done the JL w0 and w3's down in the foot well on the passenger side and it sounds damn good...granted, not you can't expect it to be rattling your eardrums, but it can fill in your low end nicely.

Very true. But besides the JL I dont hold 8" woofers very highly. The JL's cost is so far above a comperable 10" that unless theres absolutely nowhere to get the 10 in, its not worth it.

It's worth with when you consider you can fit the entire thing in the passenger foot well...sacrificing only about 8" of leg room....leaving your entire trunk to do whatever you please with. Besides the fact that everything is completley stealth and it brings your sound stage more towards the front like it should be.

Hmm interesting idea, Ive seen it done before in magazines. Dalton, possible?

I've done two systems with the Crossfire DB38, and they have both sounded very good. .25-.5 cubes. I sell it for $75

Depending on your footwell design, and how much you can give up, it can be easy to do. Worst case, you might have to cut the floor, and build the box outside the car.

I really like them. When I opened up, I could have had basically any lines I wanted. I started with Audiobahn, Rockford / Lightning, and Crossfire. Crossfire is basically all I sell, now. The put out lots of power, and are very clean. The new XP series comes with a SEVEN YEAR WARRANTY!! I'd put them up against any other amp on the market, watt for watt. They also have an entry level line, called Distinct Audio, that just can't be beat for the money, in my opinion.

I did them with a fiberglass rear and an angled mdf front. Flush mounted the sub and carpeted over the entire thing in the factory color, this way you can still even put your feet on it without worrying about it getting kicked it....plus, there was no way you could tell there was a sub there, it would look completley stock.
