...from a Swiss company called Macrom. Bi-wirable with bass driver (and enormous magnet - these guys are very heavy) and tweeter. They were about 150pounds UK about 5 years ago and are still the best bass reproducing 6x9s I have heard, bar none. I was putting an install together for my old Golf GTi 16v, and considering subs at the time, but was reluctant to lose luggage space using a sub. Once I mounted these in a 18mm MDF stealth shelf, it negated the need for subs. Bass response is so much about how and where the things are mounted. I do not have the Macroms in my Aero, but I suspect they would sound great, as the luggage space is well sealed, and the mounting points are pretty rigid. I am quite happy with my HK system as it is, and I will save my Macroms for next year's TVR... I never tried them wired in mono with a nice clean amp, but I heard them in another Golf like that, and they were awsome.
So many of the sub installations around where I live seem to be more for the benefit of the public OUTSIDE of the car rather than the driver and passengers....!
