[QUOTE="DanielM266av, post: 8750345, member: 683298"] I'll cut right to the chase, I'm planning to build the most over the top sound system in my car that will make any sense. I'm building it slowly and piece by piece, in the end it will consist of a component 6 speaker system in the front and 2 rear fills. Now as for the subwoofers I have always been a fan of 12's but have recently been appreciating 8's for different reasons. Essentially what I want to do is have the 12's play the really low frequencies on one double enclosure built appropriately to have the correct tuning and volume, and two 8's in their own respective enclosures with their own amp and tuning. I'm aware they can sound muddy or even cancel each other if crossovers are not set properly. I guess what I'm asking is, can I make it work and sound good? What positioning would work best? Should I have the 8s in the kickpanels or in the cargo area with the 12s? Also any recommendations for the subs themselves or even the amps as well would be appreciated. I know this is kind of a hostile topic to discuss, it's just an idea I had and I completely understand how it can go wrong if I don't tune the subs properly, and if I don't select the correct frequency responses. Edit: I did forget to mention the 12s will be ported and the 8s sealed. [/QUOTE]
