X5M E70 - Subwoofer (Invisible but not Stealthbox)

Thanks Skyline, I was looking at JL RD500/1 as base case. I read that lights dont deem with it while it gives good power. How did you decide on 8 vs 10? And one vs two subs?
did anything vibrate, like the trunk itself? I mean the actual trunk lid. It is awkward when you here the whole car including the license plate is shaking. )

I just used a single 8" W7 in their very strong JL box, and had it in the trunk of a G35 sedan. It did vibrate things a little in the trunk, especially the trim on the trunk lid. I solved that by removing the plastic trim, covering the entire (now exposed) trunk lid with Dynamat, and replacing the trim panel. I had the doors of the car completely lined with Dynamat as well....MB Quarts in all the doors. That was a really great sounding car stereo. I had two JL AMPs, 4x75w for the doors, and a 300w mono for the sub.

But I'm not keen on heavy bass; I'm more into natural sound so YMMV.
