[QUOTE="SimulatedZero, post: 8469997, member: 643373"] So here's my usual recommendation for customers with similar goals. Get one good quality sub and put your money into an awesome install. Subs that are put in an enclosure that fully utilizes them can have some pretty impressive results. With the box size you mentioned, two tens would be well suited if you have the electrical for 1200+ watts. One of the big keys is port area. You can have a smaller box, which on subs nets you a more even response than a larger box, and still get full excursion with lots of port area. The issue becomes that your 30hz or 28hz port starts to take up a half cube of space. One 12 or two 10's is where I would draw the limit. There are 15's that do well in smaller enclosures, but larger ports with low tuning tend to add a lot more size than you originally planned. Something like the latest Sundown SA12 Rev 3, Fi SSD, IA Lethal Injection, Soundqubed HDC, etc.... All should net you pretty solid volume for a single driver setup with a good install. [/QUOTE]
