[QUOTE="TheBigPilferer, post: 8864068, member: 690294"] Well, I usually just try out whatever I so happen to get my hands on. Usually, this means a lot of just really common and basic gear... which is useful bc that's what the majority of average people buy... And I like being able to give a demo and show what can be accomplished with $1000 budget (as in, for all parts). With that said, I'm thinking about trying a single 18" so I can get what I want for a change. I've been eyeing the stereo integrity ht18v3... I would mainly like to improve my low end extension. I'm not really concerned about getting more overall output, as I usually keep my bass knob at about 1/3. In a vehicle, I shouldn't need near as large of a box as what stereo integrity recommends for home theater. Off the top of my head I'm estimating maybe 6 ft³ @ 26? I haven't tried to model it yet or anything, but their recommended box I believe is 8 ft³ @ 22. It's a deal for $199 and it matches well with my current amp power. I've thought about upgrading for more power but I honestly don't feel like I need it. I had a colleague suggest I use it in a sealed box to spec (3 ft³) but I'm not too keen on that.
