[QUOTE="roscoofyore, post: 8387768, member: 665941"] Gents, recommend me a sub please. My info below: Car: 2009 ford fusion se Number of subs preferred: 1 Size preferred (if configuration allows): 12” Budget: $300 Power to be used (which amp(s), include which resistance): Memphis 16PRX1.1000 Space available (take measurements, do not guess): 1.8cubft ported box Goals: clean, articulated, tight bass. Listening habits: jazz, edm, rock … all music except modern country Preferred brands/subs/whatever: whatever is available and sounds excellent. : currently I do have a 12” ported box with a Memphis 12” power reference sub. My nieces like it very much but not I as I am not a basshead. I want my bass clean, articulate and tight, not the booming drone that shakes my trunk and license plate.
