[QUOTE="neverrain, post: 6940042, member: 624872"] Yea, I'm looking for better quality fill bass than I am for loudness. I would prefer if the sub could hit the bass notes properly and fill the sound well, but still have enough bump to sound decent when I want to turn it way up. I was already looking at the IDMAX 10's, although it appears there are two different ones: [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p2899/IDMAX10D4--Image-Dynamics-10%22-Competition-Subwoofer.htm"]IDMAX10-D4 - Image Dynamics 10" Competition Subwoofer[/URL] - Dual 4 ohms [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p2030/IDMAX10D2--Image-Dynamics-10%22-Competition-Subwoofer.htm"]IDMAX10-D2 - Image Dynamics 10" Competition Subwoofer[/URL] - Dual 2 ohms It looks like the Dual 4 ohms requires less enclosed space in a box. But one of my questions is, why? I'm not super with understanding the electric measurements and what exactly they mean. The trunk space for this thing is exactly huge, maybe 12" tall, by 24-30" wide. The sub may need to be angled up to work properly. Plus I need to mount amps and the computer back there, so I may need to get crafty with the space. For sound quality, is an enclosed box better? From what I understand, you need to put more power into an enclosed sub? One of my other concerns is power. I plan to do the "big 3" and upgrade the stock alternator (80 amp) to the Nissan Quest one, which is somewhat or a direct bolt on and provides either 110 amp or 125 amp. Also, the IDMAX subs say they are rated for 1000W RMS. Is this a lot of power for an amp? One main stopping point for me right now is finding decent quality amps in the $300-500 price range each.
