[QUOTE="Mcjasonb85, post: 8767087, member: 684134"] So I have been out of the car audio game for a while and just recently got a Corolla Hatchback that needs some bass added to the factory system. So I just want to add a smallish sub and amp. Im planning on using the Kicker Key500.1 amplifier, but am trying to decide if I want to do something like the Kicker [URL='https://www.crutchfield.com/p_20648TP122/Kicker-48TRTP122.html']48trtp122 [/URL]run at 2 ohms, so about 300-350 watts rms, or if I'd rather do a single 10" [URL='https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-RSS265HE-22-10-Reference-Series-High-Excursion-Subwoofer-22-ohm-295-290']Dayton high excursion [/URL]in a smaller sealed box which would run at 1 ohm, so it would get about 500-600 watts rms. I don't want to use up a ton of trunk space but I'd like to extend my bass from 80hz down to at least 30hz with some decently fun output. I'm not looking to hit crazy high DB numbers, but I'd like it to sound good, but also be capable of getting decently loud. I've never used a passive radiator setup before, but I'm concerned that the shallow mount kicker sub and passive just don't have a ton of XMAX and just won't move a ton of air. The Dayton has 25mm of one way XMAX which sounds fun, but it's a sealed 10 vs a 12 with a passive. [/QUOTE]
