I think you should save your money and not "share" your music with the dude next to you.
Do you realize what kind of hearing damage 2 or 3 subs can cause?
Get yourself a reasonable system that doesn't bother the people around you. That doesn't include anything with 12 inch subs.
Edit: Sorry, but loud car stereos piss me off.

With all due respect. You are one dumb son of a bitch. (please do not take that as a flame, it wasn't meant as one)
As stated above, you should save your money. I hate it when young kids spend all of their money in stupid add-ons to their cars. Why not save some $ and buy your self a fucking appt. :confused:

My opinion? The eclipse is a girls car. You might as well have bough a Miata, or a Beetle, perhaps a nice white ford probe. Just my opinion. Save your sound system money and buy a man's car. '05 Mustang GT, Acura RSX-S type, '65 camaro. something along those lines.

You know, I had a girlfriend who used to say the same thing. We asked a friend of her's (she wasn't involved) about what she thought about an Eclipse and her responce was "They're kinda feminine."

If i was going with a Mitsubishi, I'd get the evo or just the regular lancer over an eclipse. But since you already HAVE an eclipse, i guess youll just have to deal. By the way, this means I can now refer to you as "Nancy" as Max is absolutly correct.

Who cares if its a chick car or not, I've seen some pretty bad ass eclipes(sp?) around here, what kind of 12" subs you running and amps as well?
Personally, I'd go with two 12" running off one 1000+ watt amp(800 watt works good too) but 3 12" running off two amps? That wouldn't sound right.
I like the way two 15" sound off two amps.. but thats pretty spendy.

You don't need that much power for two 12's, at the most you need is 1200 for those good subs. That much power will blow your subs before you even realize it.
I'd probably go with the JL W7 12" subs, But those are really, really expensive.
But probably something with a decent price range for a sub and power, My friend had a Stage2 Rockford Fosgate Power sub, which produced a shitload of bass and it was under 200 bucks for one sub. Not bad, but thats what I'd go with.
