Need help please

[Bones73]

I have a 2012 chevy malibu. I do not know what to go with. 2 10" or 2 12" or 1 10" or 1 12" sub. I listen to mostly rock, dance, a little rap. I have will be putting in the morel elate for components not sure 3-way or 2-way and morel tempo in the back. I will be running a jl hd 600/4 for the highs. And a jl hd 750/1 or jl hd 1200/1 for the subs, i have both. Hopefully one of you pros can help me. it has been 20 yrs. since I played with this stuff. Things have really changed for the better! Thanks!!

12s are a good choice for the types of music you listen 1 or 2 is up to you ,how loud you want it and do you have a budget

pair of 10s,or 12s,will be perfect.

I was thinking 1 10 w7. But i honestly am overwhelmed with all the choices. No, I do not have a budget!

how much trunk are you willing to depart with? To get a good sounding and solid bottom end that will keep up with your mid/high power, I would strongly suggest two 12's ported on the HD 1200/1 (sweet amp, btw).

^^^This, but it will depend on how much space you have available for a box. Have you taken measurements yet?

if you dont mind taking up half your trunk 2 12's, if not that one really nice 12 depends. only other option would be the 2 ba spg 13's they only need 1 cube sealed and get some passive radiators direct from them. this is what i did for my install i can pst pictures in a sec

2 cube is this size of a box in my grand prix which is the general size you want for a single 12 ported. so 2 12's would take a box twice this size plus port area. i have the 2 boston acoustics i recomended and 2 spg-tr's tuned to 30hz. so i get a small box like mine plus the output of a ported box. i love me setup for a little under 660 bucks for 2 subs and 2 pr's and its amazing. it was the loudes cleanest setup i figured for a 2 cube box to save trunk room and weight

You can always do two seperate boxes as well,one on each side of the trunk too.Two heavy 10s, in approx 1.6 cu ft box ported @30-38 htz will sound fantastic,better up to 2.0 ea.I think like an FI SSD 10 would be great,to run in a pair

Even 1.4 ported would be just fine
