you'll find bazooka's do not fit well in the trunk. you mentioned wanting to save space... so i'd rule the bazooka out...
before buying any RF subs, talk to WLaurent. he used to distribute and sell RF stuff very inexpensively and is quite familiar with their lineup. he also generally installs that stuff for free.
respectible 8 in. subs that i know of:
Eclipse makes a pretty good 8" sub. talk to Kronos, i think he has one of these. if i recall correctly, it's a pretty agressive sub.
JL makes a number of 8" subs. and the 8W3v2 fits well. talk to PAS2KNut, he has had these in the past. he also had some RF subs too at one point. the JL's are good subs, but known to be a little over priced.
Elemental Designs makes the e8a.44, which is the sub i have. it's a very agressive 8" sub, but requires a bit more $$ and a bit more power than most. there are a number of people out there who have these if you look around.
William (WLaurent) really speaks highly of several of the RF subs... a LONG time ago, he did a comparison of 4-5 subs and their volume output... i think he liked the older RF's and i'm not sure how much he likes the current generation.
Kicker makes a solobaric 8" sub... not the best for sound quality, but is probably one of the strongest subs out there for it's size. i think William also sold these as well... i don't recall who has one of these though...
other than these, i'm not sure what other options are there... b0mbrman mentions a few in the S2000 audio faq.

thanks again...
i will pm William to get price for enclosure and sub..
if it's a good deal i will get it from him..
if not i will get the enclosure and the Elemenal Design E8A like you..
getting closer and closer to complete the whole system..
thanks... again...
next is AMP and Hu (mostly likely get one like your)
so far i'm way over the budget i plan out but it ok..i do anything for my S...
with all this, installation cost must be really high too..

regretfully, my HU isn't available anymore... the newer Alpines though are coming out and now are offering amber, but for about a year or so, you couldn't get an amber Alpine.
regarding Amp's... as you go down that path, be sure to know what sub you have, as it will affect the amp you need to buy... (for example, the e8a has to have a 2 ohm mono stable amp.)

thanks guy for the offer to help me out on the phone..but i'm a BIG chicken when it come to messing with my car..plus i don't have any tools to do it..
so far:
kappa perfect 6.1
2 William enclosure
Hey my friend is selling his MTX Blue Thunder Pro50x4 for $80
it a 4 channel amp
http://www.mtxaudio.com/caraudio/archive/pro50x4.cfm
what yall think?
i probably get the 2 (e8A.44) sub
will this amp do it to power the kappa and the two sub
PJK3 i notice you got only sub, how they sound with only one sub??
let me know so i can decide (1 or 2)
thanks.

NO good.......unless you use all 4 channels for the infinitys alone. 50watts isnt that great for them. I think its their minimum. Get an amp that has 150x2. The Soundstream Van Gough 500.4 would be pefect. You can buy a spare tire mounting tray from Jim, PAS2kNUT, and youll have a nice clean almost empty trunk.

from the look of it the amp look pretty big.
am i'm suppose to put that in the spare tire place, that why i should get the spare tire mounting tray??
what if i put it under the seat instead?? any problem with that or it going to be too hot..
so as far as amp goes..i need a four channel
with at least 150watts x2 for kappa and how many watts for the two e8A.44 sub??

Not many good amplifiers are small enough to fit under the seat. That is also a bad idea regardless, and good power amps need to breathe.
As for power, 125x2 for fronts and 125x2 for both coils would be great.
