Winfij: Standard headunit only has speaker outs, nothing for sub or line level, so you can't even add an amp without line level converters. But std. headunit is a bit pants anyway, so replace it.
Basic argument: crap in -> crap out.
Zero_to60: If your not in a rush, we could meet up once I get round to fitting my sub setup, albeit at this rate it might not be until the new year.
Kenwood, do a unit which looks small (no idea really never seen it), look at the bottom of the page. http://www.mcs-direct.co.uk/acatalog/MCS_D...bwoofers_7.html

My audio installer questioned the ability to get bass into the cabin from the boot..
Normally there is significant gain from the cabin and of course with the roof down this gain isn't present.
With the roof up I have to turn the sub down by using the head unit controls due to the extra gain offered by the sealed cabin space.
My sub has a JL8W3-D4 driver in a 10.5 litre sealed enclosure. This adds plenty of bass weight to most tracks to really notice it is there despite its modest dimensions.
There is quite a good boost from the boot itself and the boot ports into the main cabin behind the seats.
You'll need a powerful amp though. I'm running with a modest 150W continuous rms amp into 4 Ohms. The amp gain is turned down a bit so as not to overdrive the JL sub which has a continuous rating of 125W.
Of course a single 8" won't compete SPL-wise with some of the larger subs I've seen in S2000 boots but it really offers some useful extra volume without the loss of too much boot space (or the toolkit).

If you don't mind it in the foot well. Then you can get a Kenwood Woogbox ????? Woxbox ?????
Not taking the pee, I am pretty sure that was it's name when I looked at getting a sub for my S.
They are small, have their own built in amp, volume, Eq and come with a remote and are approx
