[QUOTE="Jimg, post: 8697843, member: 676695"] Every time I think I have a decision made on what option to go with I question my decision. So I am here to ask people with better knowledge than myself to give me some direction. The car they will be going in 2012 mustang I want to face the subs forward , the back seats will be folded down 90% of the time, I also plan on using them walled off and sealed from the trunk I want to build an amp rack in the back for the multiple amps , dsp ect that will be used. outside enclosure measurements 34 inches wide 11 inches tall 17 inches depth amplifier is a us acoustics mike 1500w at 1 ohm or 1000w at 2 ohm type of music, Rock music the majority of the time price for the subs I would like to stay around $450 The options I have looked at option 1 using two Dayton audio HO 10 inch. they are priced within budget, the amp has enough power to power two subs, Air space will not be an issue using a sealed enclosure. total cost on subs $305 for two of them I would like to use Three of them but the amp I have will not put out the 1800 watts to use three of them option 2 using three eight inch subs thought about using American bass VFL 8's amp has enough power to power three of them If i run a ported box to I should have enough space to do all three subs cost of the subs $330 I also would assume these three 8's ported will be a little louder than the two Daytons in a sealed enclosure option 3 looked at using three SSA Demon 10 inch subs amp should have enough power to run three of them If using a sealed enclosure I should have enough space for three of them Ssa has them for $156 each. A little over budget but not much. I would assume this option would sound ok, but I also would assume the three 8's ported would be a little louder option 4 what would you go with and why? using the box measurements budget of $450 amplifier 1,500 watts 1 two 10's ported 2 three 8's ported 3 two 10's sealed 4 three 10's seal [/QUOTE]
