[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7167764, member: 629234"] imho, yes, 2-12's in a good vented box are going to do better than 2-15's in a good sealed box. i'm getting the feel you are looking for the awe factor in apearance, too, which there is nothing wrong with throwing that in as one of the main concerns. your origional plan suggests you don't really care about storage, lol. 2-18's would be cool, but i'm not sure you can get them in there in a nice configuration, nor with enough space for a proper vented enclosure. my suggestion, is get the 2-15's in there in large vented box, and even get creative to get the proper volume. as for sealed vs. vented for ground shakers- in my experience, i've had all kinds of trunk and open cabbin setups, and sealed enclosures, and i can tell you the best sealed setups are real linear in response, so they do shake the lows, and roll to the top, but hands down, vented gets louder, and lower (tuned proper). a 33hz box will get real violent on the bottom and respond with good musical range. you can go even lower, if you want, but 33-34 is usually a nice range, and the drivers you choose can make the box tuning respond differently. i would agree with the sa-15's as a nice choice, with more options to be able to re-cone, but first thing to consider is how you are going to power the drivers........ what amps (or power, if you haven't decided yet) and what are you going to do with the car itself.
