[QUOTE="Nodnerb, post: 8302235, member: 661801"] A month ago I put in the same sub and amp in my suv. Amp is fine. The microsub was kind of boomy but went amazingly low for an 8. I hated it for anything other than rap or hip hop though. Even some of those songs it was hit and miss. But when there was a song the sub liked, it sounded great. For metal or rock it was unintelligible and muddy though. To the point of hating it. I tried every possible position. Maybe in a truck it'll be different. I took it back and ended up with a 10" alpine type s in a sealed bassworx box at 2 ohm(mated perfectly at 500w with the mrv). It sounds waaaaay better and overall was $80 cheaper than the microsub. It plays fine for any music and is much tighter. Doesn't play quite as low as the microsub surprisingly. But it is sealed vs the jl ported. The sealed wedge back bassworx box is the ideal volume for the type s 10" and is still quite small. Btw. They also have a dual 8" microsub unit, 500 w max at 2 ohm, (also perfect for the mrv) as well if you do go that route. [/QUOTE]
