[QUOTE="fithwheel, post: 8690025, member: 674179"] Sq isn't as simple as asking opinions on equipment and going with someone's opinion on what equipment to use. Your install is just as important as the equipment. Sound treatment tweeter location just as important as the equipment. Type of sub enclosure. The enclosure itself orientation placement in vehicle how much net airspace do you have to work with etc. How do you like your mids and highs? Bright and in your face or a little more on the mellow side? How do you like your bass just kinda there (filled in) or bass you can feel that has good extension. I listen to metal and classic rock. For me I like punchy prominent bass that doesn't roll off too soon plentiful midbass and smooth sounding mellow ish tweeters. Not a fan of bright tweeters. 500 watts for the sub stage I'd personally go ported. More efficient better extension tuned mid upper 30s depending on the sub choice and the space I have to work with. That's for me. I'd also probably go with raw drivers if you're going active. You should be posting what you have in mind for how yours should sound and type of music you mostly listen to etc. It'll be easier for people to steer you in the right direction to help you meet your goals. Despite popular belief you can get sq with a ported enclosure. It just takes a little more effort on your part or your box designers part. If you cannot build or have someone build the enclosure than you might be better off going sealed. Pre fab ported enclosures don't have sq your vehicle or your sub in mind when manufactured. [/QUOTE]
