[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 8190246, member: 624844"] That makes a lot of sense about the marketing towards people who are looking for big power handling and small box requirements. It seems that 70% of the forum boners (right now) are huge power subs. The other 30% are the SA series and everything else with a rating of about 600W RMS. That must be why I remember when 300W subs could get very loud and people didn't need more than 800-1200 watts at most. A lot looser suspension, smaller coils, lighter materials. Thanks for the tip about the magazine article with the cabin gain graphs of multiple vehicles. I found it interesting that the smaller cars were as close to the huge SUV's in cabin gain response.

Thanks for the help again guys, just making sure I wasn't making a huge mistake or seeing things that weren't there.
