[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8647486, member: 614752"] Area of a circle is Pi*radius^2 so surface area increases more than just 1". 13" circle is roughly 17% more area than a 12" circle.... probably not going to make or break you, and of course the JL w7 is an outstanding 1000W woofer but you should be able to do more or less the same thing for less than the 1000$ MSRP of one of those. Scion should be pretty easy to get loud. Nice open cabin, though weak panels will hurt if you're trying to meter, but to the ear you're about 5dB ahead of anybody trying to get loud out of a trunk. Very much this. You can't just take any old sub and tune it to 35hz and expect good sound. You must build the box around your woofer. That said, IMO you very probably won't need whale-song low tuning, few car audio subs will play up high flat if you tune them really low. Should be plenty of friendly priced stuff that'll get you there. [/QUOTE]
