Looking for a LOUD system

Hey all,

I see lots of people doing a single sealed ten or two sealed 8" subs in these cars. I need some bass in mine. I want to do a 10W7 in a ported box. Extreme overkill for this car. The trunk looks really small. Has anyone done this?

It just occurred to me that there is no Audio/Video/Pimp my ride section on this site. LOL


EDIT: Sorry that doesn't help you at all, I'm just so surprised I just now noticed this.

Not a problem. I wasn't even sure if this was the right spot.

Nope, I think this is as good as it's going to get. I've never seen anyone talking about audio stuff though, so maybe there's some secret spot on this site I don't know about.

Box is also built to JL specifications. The box barely fits height wise, but I managed to fit it in there. Powered by JL Audio 500/1.

my 10JL W3v3 hits plenty hard for me. I generally run it at 1/3 power from the amp or less... Any more is too overpowering for the rest of the speakers.

I use one if these in a ported box with the matching jl amp. Also using a kenwood touch screen unit. Gives you so much better control over the stock head unit. I highly recommend upgrading that first!

How much airspace is in the box with the 2 subs?

I fit two 12s with a little fiberglass work. I personally don't feel that it's overkill at all.

I just sold my 12w7 out of my jeep. After two years I had enough of it. Just too much. Debating doing a single 8 or ten in my frs since I have an extra amp but we will see.
