I tried searching google with minimal results. What else, other than the sub, would i need to make a small (8 inch or so) sub work in the car? Do I need all the stuff for a big sub, like capacitor and all that? I know little about subs, so I am looking for a list and advice if anyone is willing to advise me. :) The hidden sub for my sedan trunk is coming along, and I could make it completely hidden but I like the look of the woofer poking out to say hi ahahaa.
Somebody , please help.

No cap. My truck has 2 amps in it about 1200w Peak power never ran a cap, they are band aids.

You will need
-Amp
-Wiring Kit (power, gnd, rca, remote wire, speaker wire)
-Deck or LOC or Cleansweep
-Box

Depending on how much juice you are running you should also upgrade your big 3. Explained here: http://forum.sounddomain.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/312025/page/1

No problem. I have done a few installs in my day.

None to this car though.
