I think I'm gonna call in to order one on fri since I get paid then. Anyone know some current prices? I'm not sure if I should get a 12 or 15, not sure about amp yet that's gonna be later gotta save up. I listen to rap and it's gonna be in a small civic sedan. Any opinions on size sub and type of box?

15 if you can give up the space, for only rap id reccomend an SX, louder, more powerhandleing, and for just a bit more on the price.
but w/e SE 15 will get plenty loud.

just grab you up a good 500-800w amp@2ohm if you get the normal VC configuration (Dual 4ohm)
id reccomend some but i dont feel like researching any and my brain is too dead to name one off the top of my head though a JL 500/1 would be perfect and can be had for somewhere in the 300's on Ebay. and a few otherstires (onlinecarstereo.com maybe, i dont know)

How much SQ will I sacrifice if I go with the SX? I just measured my trunk really quick and I've got about 17" of height to work with at most and that's like almost touching the top of the trunk.

fora 15" driver you only need 16.5" when using 3/4 MDF for forward or rear firing.

SQ is opinionated and for rap/R&B, Techno, and some electric bass guitar there is virtually NO noticeable SQ difference... even at high excursions.
