[QUOTE="neo_styles, post: 8001003, member: 644168"] Sorry to make you think you'd done something wrong...just checked back here. What I was referring to was the fact there're users who will come on here asking for help, we offer them help, and they act like we're obscene and go with what they want or heard elsewhere anyway. It was more of a word of caution than an accusation. WD already mentioned what an SPL system entails and, chances are, you're looking more for something along the lines of SQ or SQL. SQL's like a happy middle of both terms where you can definitely crank the volume and get impact, but you'll still be able to hear everything clear as a bell. As for going with twin 8" subs, I would suggest some Sundown SD-2 8s if you're going new or try to find some solid OS offerings in the classifieds. Also, you can find some subs that really don't require too much volume ported. Someone just set up two SA-8s in a ported enclosure tuned to 32Hz and only ended up sacrificing 1.25 cubes of space. You'll hear differently between people about sealed vs ported and what that means for sound quality, but the real answer is you'll get great performance out of both types of enclosures as long as they're properly built (ESPECIALLY ported enclosures). Hope you have fun researching while you're here and I think you'll learn a ton. I know it helped me out immensely; not only in knowledge gained, but in the professional relationships and plethora of used equipment at my fingertips...my wallet has definitely never been happier.
