Holy crap does a sub­woofer ever make a dif­fer­ence. This one can be blamed on a nice chain of events.

1. Room­mate gets me lis­ten­ing to Sir­ius 20 “Octane”
2. DMX — “Party Up” comes on, I real­ize how piti­ful the bass in my car sounds
3. Roommate’s ex-GF comes to town, some­how gets him to buy new front speakers
4. While we’re installing said speak­ers, I decide to fig­ure out why my rear speak­ers don’t work
5. I rewire the speak­ers to run from the head unit instead of through the amp the pre­vi­ous owner left in the car, and now I have a spare amp to mess with.
6. I drive to Car Stereo One, who just hap­pen to be hav­ing a sale on sub­woofers, so I end up buy­ing a 12″ sub instead of the 8 or 10 inch mod­els I was look­ing at.
7. By 3 AM, we have the thing ghetto-wired and pow­er­ing on. We burn bass test discs and lap the block.
8. I have very lim­ited hear­ing now.
