Most of the ones I've seen have been really weak, like 30 watts rms. Read some reviews on circuitcity.com. I dunno.

Personally, I wouldn't buy one. I would get a 10 in a small box and just tuck it into the corner of my trunk. They don't make a lot of noise, for a bit more money you will get a much better result

Well if he gets a powered tube it might be a bit louder because it would have a built in amplifier

I've seen one with a built in amp that was 30 watts rms.

If you want an all-in-one thing, Infinity makes an amp/sub/passive radiator combo that is usually between 300-330 or something that Circuit City sells. I guess because of the passive radiator it's very small overall as it doesn't require a box(?). It got pretty good reviews at their website. I think it's 200 watts rms. I heard it doesn't bump for hardcore rap, but that it makes a lot of bass and sounds good. Keep in mind that a lot of people who listen to rap don't care about SQ and just want the most bass possible without it necessarily sounding good. So, depending on your tastes, you may or may not like it. Go check it out at their store.

Infinity BassLink or something like that. It sounds much better than the Bazooka powered subs. Those things are so 1990's.

I have heard some good reviews of the Infinity Bass Link.

I put a Bazooka RS6A-HP into my g/f's 03 EX coupe. Here is some info from Crutchfield...

Check out the flagship RS Series Bazookas. Designed for maximum efficiency, with Pure Piston woofers and Turbo Cooled voice coils, they play louder than ever, with greater accuracy and power handling.

The RS6A-HP high-powered 6-1/2" bass-blaster steps you up to 150 watts RMS power, right out of the box. It'll give you that firm bass foundation your sound system needs, even if you have to mount it in the trunk. A built-in variable crossover (50-250 Hz, 18 dB/octave) lets you fine-tune your bass output.

Not competition winning bass, but a nice added bump. Not bad for only being 6½" and having 150 RMS. Good enough for the $50 I paid for it from a Cartoys tent sale.
