Is loud more important than accuracy? Loud metal, especially in a car, can sound pretty harsh. Additonally, sub heavy systems tend to sound muddy with fast bass guitars.

with metal music, I have found 10's to be the best. They are faster and more accurate than 12's. How much money are you looking to spend. There are a lot of brands for every budget.

VO-W712: 1200W – 12 inch PA Woofer - DD Audio

The VO-W700s are drivers made to satisfy an underappreciated bandwidth between the bottom end of a midrange and the heavy lows of the subwoofer, striking a balance of clarity and power that puts them in a class of their own. With a rich pedigree tracing back to the 1990’s era of Digital Designs...

I would use 2 of these. They'd do about perfect hitting the low bass guitar and drums imo

Looks like a good sub for smaller enclosures.

It's kinda a cross between a sub and a woofer but if I only listened to rock...they'd be what I used for low end since they can play high enough to meet of with a PA style mid

Honestly I would focus on your mid range speakers, spend the dollar there and just get a DD Audio BSI for any subwoofer you choose. It restores bass on rock, metal, tear in your beer-country, even ol skool rap.

But this dd audio vo w712 would be the ultimate buy and I'd be jealous myself, I love feeling the snares, percussion and drums. In one door I would place a midbass and a mid-range loud speaker side by side and get a compression tweeter.

The price on the dd is in the ballpark of an l7

How much air space do you have to work with for Subwoofers?

If you like Metal I'd get Dayton HO subs these are SQ subs and will do some Metal justice.

Those are really great subs with an awesome warranty behind them
