Can you get decent SQ from a sub with low power?

[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 8823805, member: 634282"] It would be better to go Ported enclosure for a sub in trunk space, and at least a 500 rms sub to serve any justice.I would remove the Rear speakers out of the rear deck and leave the grills on to get the bass frequint. inside the cabin. the rear speakers will eventually get damaged from the sub pressure levels pushing upon the speaker cones maxing those out and eventually destroy those unless you find a way to cap/seal them off. I would remove them, and open up the deck area to get the bass freq. into the cabin space. I would run a single sub amplifier and a 2 ch for the front speakers. Amps will run cooler and you will have a better option for power needed for the sub stage. look for a deck/HU with at least 4 volt RCA Out with Front and Rear /Sub(two sets of RCAs min. if it has 3.. even better for the price you are looking at. JBL Club series are nice speakers. Should do well. If you have the time, and budget allows.. I would place some Deadner around the speaker area. and look at the Min. of getting some Plastic Sealed speaker baffles will help(approx $10bucks on Ebay..XScorpian brand), There is no real SQ in a trunk space for a sub without deadening the trunk to be in all honesty..
