[QUOTE="xeroda, post: 8700780, member: 679241"] It's all about preference. I prefer a louder, more accurate sub that has the power to hit the deep drops. I also dig an install that is clean and stealthy. So, I would opt for a single 500W @ 2ohm sub in a sealed enclosure of some sort (to save space). I like the JL Audio 10" W3x3-2 sub for this kind of application. It's a decent sub that works with compact boxes, produces nice and tight general bass, but can handle the deep drops well also. 500W is at the top end of its ideal range, but it can certainly handle it without issue as long as the amp gains are set and wiring is run properly. I would recommend using a decent active crossover to set the sub frequency range apart from your mids & highs. Many higher-end amps have this built-in or you can buy a dedicated unit. [/QUOTE]
