A couple questions - about to order soon

[WillyG4444 10+ year member]

I decided not to go with Alpine and I think I'm going with a RE SE 12" sub in a ported enclosure. I have 3 questions.

1. Is it worth running 800W RMS instead of 600W RMS for daily driving or would the difference not be that worth it?

2. I don't know if I should order sound deadener or not yet. I have a Nissan Sentra and I was wondering if I put down my 60-40 rear seats would that stop a lot of rattling due to more airspace?

3. Kicker Solobaric 12" L7 or RE SE 12"? - both would be ported - looking for great sound quality, but also want it to be loud. Thanks.

1. Not really. You won't hear much of a difference, but it will get slightly louder without clipping. If you can sell your current amp and upgrade 200 watts for like 50 or 60 bucks, then it would be worth it.

2. Wait until its installed. Then make the decision

3. I think the SE would be the clear winner in SQL

SE all the way **** alpine.

You might want to get the 800watt amp and leave a lil headroom to upgrade.

Ok, I guess RE is the way to go then. Any ideas on putting down the 60/40 rear seats for reducing rattles? Or would it be worthless.

Might I inquire as to why...
