[QUOTE="EricF, post: 8925170, member: 682238"] Hey everyone, I'm looking at a few different loaded enclosures for the trunk of my 3 series BMW. Long story short, the amp I was using for 2 12" Kicker CompR's in my other vehicle wasn't making the advertised power, so I had to upgrade amps. I'll be using this left over amp for my car. It's a DB drive WDX 1000.1, (1000 watts @ 1ohm, 500 watts @ 2ohm and 250 watts @ 4ohm rating). I'd imagine going for a 1-ohm subwoofer set up would maximize the output of this amp? I'm going back and forth on these loaded enclosures. Given the option between an 8, 10 and a 12" set up in a trunk I've heard discussion that you should go for the biggest sub you can fit to maximize output. Memphis mojo 8" in a ported enclosure (900 watts rms @ 1ohm) Skar SVR 2 8" in a ported enclosure (800 watts rms @ 1 ohm) Kicker L7T 10" in a ported enclosure (500 watts rms @ 2ohm) Kicker CompR 12" in a ported enclosure (500 watts rms @ 2ohm) I really like the Mojo set up due to its size and I'd imagine it must be on steroids for an 8" sub to have a power rating of 900 watts rms. As much as I want earth shattering bass I know I'll need to lower my expectations for any of these set ups. I will be sound proofing the trunk to minimize any rattles. Looking forward to hearing some opinions! [/QUOTE]
