[QUOTE="tracyrick, post: 2139254, member: 570552"] Need advice from anyone who has already gone through this decision making process. Car: Impreza 2006 STI Goals: SQ. Need tight, clean bass that goes pretty low only if I need it to. Does NOT have to be very loud. I don't need to shake the car or have people outside here it. But I also don't want it to be too weak. Space: I'd like to have some room left in the trunk. Music: Rock, prog rock (want to hear clearly hear the bass notes), heavy metal So far I've learned that a sealed box enclosure is best. Question: For the tightest, cleanest sound, do I go with 1 10", 2 10", or 1 12"? And then what size enclosure for sealed box? I'm looking at Alpine Type R as powerful, but clean. If I get 1 10", will it be too weak and not hit low enough? If I get 2 10" I think it will it be more than I really need, and take up too much space. My current guess is I should get 1 12" Type R and an amp of at least 500 RMS to match or exceed the subwoofer's power. Won't take up much space, will hit low and loud if I need it to. Is that a pretty safe guess? [/QUOTE]
