Subwoofer/bass options

I'm looking into a 2002 CL-S. I have heard the factory stereo, & it sounds great except for a lack of bass. Most factory system are like this. I need the trunk space, & the car will be leased. I have a JL Stealth box in my truck & that sounds fine. Are there things like that made for a CL-S? ALso how do those bazooka tubes sound? Maybe that Infinity basslink? Those are small, & have built in amps. Any other options?

But this will leave you a whole lot of trunk space.

The Infinity Bass Link does sound amazing, plus its a tiny little thing. As far as Bazooka tubes go, I have never heard them, but I have heard good things about the 8" and 10" models. You can also go with a small sub, like a single 10 or a single 8 that uses a small box like some JL's, Polk, Boston, Alpine... and just mount an amp on the box, which would run a little more than a Bass link, but it gives you a better selection. Thats my opinion.

It's PowerWedge box. I think it's customized for the store I bought it from or it's disconued or something cuz I cant find it on JL page as well.

SOLO-BARIC. The new Square 10" is what I am going to put in my car. Its a perfect match for the fatory Bose, and the box is .70 cubic ft. I think you can find room foe a 11*11*9 box in a CL trunk.

I dont think the factory speakers are loud enough to sound good while flying down the road. I am planning to just switch out the 6x9s and add an amp to them. Infinity makes a nice set that would prob have lots of bass. my 2cents.......Cause if you aint hollern dollas u aint hollern sense
