Here's what I'm rocking!
2xInfinity Front Speakers
2xMTX Rear Speakers
Kenwood KDC-BT848U Deck

I listen to a huge variety of genres, but you'll typically hear me listening to The Devil Wears Prada or August Burns Red.

Mines basically set up like yours except I'm running a pioneer headunit with 6.5" pioneers in the doors and 6x9 pioneers in the deck. Not sure of the model numbers though, I forgot.

I'm usually listening to rap unless my sons in the car then its country unless he wants to listen to my music. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

That is a great set up EmperorJJ1. What components are you running and head unit now? I've read a couple of your builds but I wasn't sure what you have as of right now because some of them are a year old or so.

Running a Kenwood KDC 348U Headunit, two 12' Kenwood subs, and a 2000w Power Acoustik amp. Next plan is to add a 800w amp to the door speakers. Just installed my system completely yesterday

nope i worked at a dealer so i got them striaght from hertz. the brand started out in italy before it came to the US. acutaully their amps "audison" have been around for a long time now where as hertz is much newer.

id watch out if ur getting them on ebay. the old hsk stuff especially. theres a few rip-offs of them one of which is damn hard to tell unless u have fake and real up close. then theres a few that are easily visible to be fake. ive seen some that say Nertz on them instead of hertz

Try putting two 15s in the back.

I've had quite a few set-ups that sounded alright, but I'll just stick to one.

Stock HU with LOC (Haven't found a head unit yet that I like for the Cobalt that isn't $1300)
Subs: (Previous) RF T1 15" sub in a custom made box that took up half the trunk. (The cobalt just didn't have enough trunk space without taking up the whole trunk to make that sound good.)
(Previous) 2 - 15" MTX Thunder Series 8000 in Audio Enhancers Slanted Sealed Trunk Box.(Cracked my windshield in the past due to 2 inches of roof flex in my Jeep Liberty and could make the dash flex in the Cobalt.)
(Current) 2 - 12" Kicker Comp VR New Solobaric Series in the factory Kicker Box.(Sound alright, but I want something louder and lighter so I'll prob go with a real competition 10" next, not sure which brand, but it won't be a joker brand.)

Amp:
(Previous)Alpine MRD-M605 (Birth Certificate was a true 666 Watts RMS, ironic huh?)
(Current)Alpine MRD-M1005 (Best Amp Alpine Ever Made IMO)

Favorite Song:
15s - Soul Survivor - Young Jeezy(Cracked the windshield on this song)
12s - Strange Clouds - B.O.B. (I just plain like this song and it sounds good on 12s, lol!)

Which part? All of its true. I have witnesses. Had my buddy Ryan riding with me when I'd get the dash flexing. Had my other buddy Kevin riding with me when the windshield cracked in my jeep. It wasn't my stock HU in the jeep. Sold the 15s to him and I should still have pics of em.
