Going for SQ subs.

[LosIsATool 5,000+ posts]

I would take this to DIYMA but I never seem to get answers there.

I built my car with SQ in mind but I got the SPL bug mid way through. Now my taste in music and listen has changed back to what it was before. I downloaded the Decaf 34 and hated it. It sounded fine but I don't like it anymore. My playlist has gone back to Stained, Nickelback type music.

I have 4 cubes net, 56sq in of port with 33hz tuning. I would be surprised if I am using 1000 watts of the 5000 on tap right now with my current tuning. The 95s are doing very well with little to no movement, they still fill the cabin. I feel they could be more linear, that's what I'm looking for here. I'm not changing the box and I would like to not spend money, I can get $900-$1000 for my subs.

Options are JL W6v3s or the IA Flatlyne, both work with my mounting but I might have to much airspace for the JLs. IMO they should be just fine.

I have a pair of arc flatlines that have been reconed with the help of a pretty respected local guy. They seem to be phenomenal so far for sq. If your comfortable building subs I could give you the parts list. Spiders were hard to get in the right compliance but I have some extras. Just throwing it out there if you want to build your own.

Thanks but I don't want to do all that. I don't have near as much time to mess with stuff. I'm at the point now if I can't just take something out and put it in or play with buttons while I drive I don't want to do it

Sound quality and Nickelback are mutually exclusive.

I've been sitting here, half sleeping half listening to Santana's pandora station for about a hour. 55 if full volume with this tune, I'm at 25 and it's solid. I'm starting to think it's more road noise, windows down hindering it. It is a scion but it's pretty sealed up. I'm starting to think I'll have to pull the carpet out and deaden the floor. DD has that new 80 mil I can get for $250 a pack.

I'm not feeling the red but it will be covered up or the added weight but it might be the only way to get what I want.

I got a focal 40kx I'd sell ya. But if u don't want it I'd go with the jl w6s

I'm pretty sure it's the road noise. That's why it sounds so good when I tune then doesn't sound the same when I drive it the next morning.

Every part is sealed except the floor seats forward. I'm looking into MLV now.

yea you might want to do that part, it'll help with engine noise alot
