Default The Perfect Lightweight Setup

I know the title is totally a matter of opinion, heh... but ... I'm trying to get some ideas on how to put together a VERY lightweight setup in my integra. I care about going fast, so I wanna make sure its not too heavy.

I bought a Dension Icelink to install... because I'm going to be playing all of my music from my iPod.


I'm not out to have hard thumping base.... but I definitely need more than the stock sound. Would I be best with an 8" woofer in a custom enclosure and small amp, an 8" woofer boozooka tube and a small amp, or an 8" powered bazooka tube?

Thanks for any advice you have to offer.

What year and model of teg?
I autocross my 94 LS, and also would have a problem with weight, what I have done is install an Alpine HU and 4 Eclipse 6.5" speakers in the stock locations running off the Alpines power, I run no amps or subs. I did spend a lot of time on the speaker installs, in the front I replaced the oem speaker mounting brackets with custom MDF ones and used some Dynamat, [replaced the oem vapor barrier] in the rear it was more extensive, I replaced the oem mounting brackets with custom MDF and fiberglass cabinets, [ to get bass response] I also cut the leads to the tweeters on the rear set of Eclipse, [better for staging and imaging]

This system works very well, it is more then loud enough for me, and bass response is good enough that I have been accused of having a hidden sub and amp someplace in the car when I given a demo on what you can do without amps. 94

I have a 00' ITR. I don't think I want components or a headunit. If possible I'd like just a small woofer with a dension icelink to run my iPod off the stock deck.

I was thinking about the bazooka 200 watt 8" powered sub.
