[QUOTE="mccar, post: 8837361, member: 688610"] Yeah, as a 16 year old I lusted after the allusive MBQ from the library at my high school in Car Audio magazine! That was my internet back in the day. Sound deadening has always been a priority for me, and agree it is needed. I typically have driven pretty quiet cars (road noise wise) in my adult life except I had a Mazda Protege 5 after college that was the single loudest tin can car I ever drove. You had to yell at the passengers to be heard when going 70mph because of wind noise and the tin can effect of that cheap car. This little German GTI I'm getting is mostly quiet, but not enough compared to my last 2 cars. So that is what I plan on doing myself a lot over some weekends. Second skin and even some true road noise insulation (can't recall name but wrote it down on my work computer) on the floors and where I can on the door. I'll be adding weight, but plan to eventually stage 1 tune this anyway so, who cares. I like what you are saying! :D So, from a SQ standpoint, which of these in a proper sealed cabinet sound the best in your imaginative mind? 3x 8" ultimax 2x 8" ultimax 1x 10" ultimax 1x 10" jl 6v3 2x 8" jl 8w7 edit: assume I'd get an appropriate RMS amp for each setup, maybe more on the ultimax, but run lower ohm load for future proofing if I keep this hobby going beyond install (which I really do like, just don't have a lot of free time - aka 2 kids) I imagine the 8w7 or 6v3, but is it enough of a difference compared to those ultimax which I have never heard or seen in my life. I wonder if I can find someone near me to demo them for me. Take 'em out for a beer or something! [/QUOTE]
