[QUOTE="Hawkeye911, post: 8706637, member: 679868"] I’m adding a custom subwoofer enclosure to 2019 G63 and need some advice. After visiting car audio store, I’m honestly more confused. I’d like to maximize cargo area in rear hatch, not completely blocking the rear seats. I am a fan of JL Audio and was considering (2) 13TW (the 13.5” thin design) in a sealed box with a JL HD1200 amp. The audio store is instead recommending (4) JL 8W7’s (8” subs) in two ported boxes with a JL HD1200 amp. The 8’s would be pointed upward and would be split into two ported enclosures, one on each side of rear cargo space. I’m a big fan of Rap / Hip-Hop. I like deep bass. Intuitively, 8’s sounds too small (I had two Rockford Fosgate 15’s in my first car years ago). I’ve had Bazooka 10’s in a Blazer which hit great with the hatch enhancing the sound. More recently, I had (1) JL 13TW in an X6M (pushed by a JL HD750 amp) which sounded great also. My biggest concern is the ability to hit the very low frequency’s, not necessarily how “loud” they are. Here’s a summary.... Number of subs preferred: Two (if 10’s to 13.5’s) to four (if 8’s) Size preferred (if configuration allows): Leaning toward 8’s if they’ll perform well with lows Budget: $5k to $8k Power to be used (which amp(s), include which resistance): JL Audio HD1200 Space available (take measurements, do not guess): Plenty, but want to minimize size Goals: Deep bass, not take up entire hatch Listening habits: Rap, R&B, Hip-Hop Preferred brands/subs/whatever: JL Audio Thanks for your input!
