Hey its been awhile since I posted here. I Just picked up a new car, 2010 Ford Taurus SHO. It has the premium sound system which is actually quite good for a stock setup. My problem is it lacks on the lowend. It has nice midbass and the highs are pretty clear and loud. Yes aftermarket gear could easily out perform it but for now I just need some lows.
I am looking at putting some 8's or 10's in the rear deck where the factory 6x9s are and running a trunk baffle setup. I'm not looking for huge numbers here. I am wanting to save space and weight by doing a rear deck setup. This car is a heavy beast and doesn't need another 100+lbs of gear. It has a massive trunk but I tend to haul large things around often and need the space.
My previous car was a 2014 Focus ST and I had 3 Sundown sd8s on a SAZ1200 in a sealed box. My build log is on here somewhere. I am looking for something similar to that setup, less volume is ok as I rarely pushed that setup to its limits.
SO after all that my question is, what are some good IB sub's both in 8's and 10's or alternatively some 8's that play well in tiny sealed boxes. I'm thinking about glassing tiny pods to the rear deck.
Amp will come after I decide on subs, I have several hanging around or will buy one to match. I'm looking to spend max of about $300 on a pair of woofers and yes I will buy used.
My main contenders now are ID8, Type R8, SD-8, SD-3 10, Infinity 860w, IDctx10
