Need help choosing new set up.

[Gecko_Rx8]

Ok first off Im not working with much room, max box demensions are 13"tall x 30" width x 16" depth. Depth can be a lil wider but the box will look weird in my trunk, its going in an rx8 and if u saw the trunk ud know what i mean.

Ok These are my options I want to go with either 1 10" ported, 2 10"s sealed or 1 12" ported.

I have a zenon based amp with 2200rms at my disposal. heres the amps ratings

RMS power handling---600w @ 4 ohms

RMS power handling---1100w @ 2 ohms

RMS power handling---2200w @ 1 ohms

I was looking in the enclosures part of the forum and i could get away with probely 1.75-2 if i go with a single ported.

Ok what i want out of this set up is for it to sound extremely clean and get loud so i guess im looking for the best of both worlds sq and spl

My gf is buyin the subs soo im not too worried about the price //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif but nothing too crazy expensive lol.

What do you guys think i should do which set up and what subs should i buy?

i would go with a single 12 ported,with maybe a sundown nightshade 12 or an RD Heavyweight.not exactly sure what those subs take as far as air space but from what i hear they are kick a$$ subs and its a start.

Im going to have to do some research on those subs, i was thinking if i go with 2 10's i want some idmax's and if i went with one single i was thinking a Fi bl.

I really want 2 idmax's but if i could get away with a nice 12 that can handle around 2k rms in a ported box and sound just as good ill be happy and save some cash. My last 2 subs were sealed and i think i want to try something different.

So i guess i need some opinions on what subs can handle around 2kwrms and sound good in a 2cuft ported box.
