I just bought mine and it came with a nice one in the trunk, along with a 500W amp and a BT Pioneer Stereo. Later this week, I can try and take some pix and get them on here if you want.

You might check out www.roadstersound.com and look at their sub. I am getting ready to put the Alumapro into my M Roadster. I just upgraded the entire system. A sub in the trunk works, but because it is in the trunk, you still lose a lot of the bass frequency because of the sealed area it is in. Even low frequencies don't always penetrate everything. Therefore, a much louder volume is required, and you do start getting rattles and vibrations because of the much louder volumes required. Let's face it, our Roadsters are terrible listening environments. I think you have a better chance if the source is closer to you in the passenger compartment. I also like the clean factory look and saving trunk space.

I've also seen a few subs put in the passenger side foot well. But... you are sacrificing valuable foot space there.

Also check out Bavarian SoundWerks and their solutions. A bit more expensive, but I think they also include the amp.

BTW, the Bavarian Soundwerks is the exact same setup. They even reference that it is the RoadsterSound name with the 8" Alumapro. Didn't mean to make it sound like Bavarian Soundwerks was a different setup. I think a better deal by simply ordering from www.roadstersound.com and purchasing your own amp. I bought the Alpine MRP-M500 for $150 to eventually drive this sub (300 watts @ 4 ohms). Should be plenty.

Okay, took some today and the prior owner did a nice job on the install. I forgot to get a photo of the deck, but it's nice too.
