Id personally rather do a single 12 ported then 2x12s sealed. Much better options.
Your obsessing too much over running high watt amps and high RMS SPL subs. Your driving a small mustang, you don't need all of this SPL crap for a daily driver. A single 12 in a good ported box on good electrical rattle your entire car and completely drain out your front speakers.
I'm trying to get a sound that I had when I was younger. I didn't have great equipment, but I used sealed boxes at 1000 rms and it sounded amazing. (Granted that was in small cars and hatch style trunks, and my new systems have mostly been in suvs.) But the range of bass was awesome, nice lows and everything. I got back into systems in the last few years, and everything has changed. Everyone is saying go with a reputable builder and go ported. Which I done and I've ran three different systems. They're loud and they shake the heck out of the car, but I haven't been able to get that smooth full spectrum of bass I used to have. My wife is fussing at me about how much money I spend on this stuff, so I want to get it right this time.
Are sealed boxes not suitable for the amount of power I run nowadays (3k)?
