[QUOTE="NismoV240, post: 7757306, member: 630226"] Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I am a Noob at this car audio stuff, although not completely ignorant. I've been a member here for a while and have done ALOT of reading and find myself adding more questions to my original questions then getting answers for my original questions. So first, I just picked up a pair of jl audio "10w3v3's, with a ported box for cheap. I had a 12" mtx 4500 series before that I got for $20 with box hooked up to a jl audio 300/2 amp.
