Its enough for me but like horsepower more wouldn't hurt The stock setup is so bad anything is an improvement. You could do two 8"s in a roadster if you give up the passenger side glove box as well. If you put subsonic filter with a high pass around 40Hz to keep from overworking the 8" you could really pour some power into it I bet. Granted you wouldn't have deep bass but not sure you could no matter what you did in an open top vehicle.

I keep debating if I should build a custom box for a 12" (I have a Polk MM from a previous install, that sounded great) and just give up on my spare tire. As is with my Akebono BBK the stock spare doesn't clear the calipers so I have no idea why I'm dragging it around anyway. Most cars today don't even come with spares and I have AAA for towing.

Probably not. It's true... They just don't make stuff like they used to.

You should, and sell me your 8!! Great idea! Hahaha. That spare tire idea is a good one. And you're right, you probably don't even need it. Prob too far away in a vert for me tho.
