Question on sub size

[rtiid22 10+ year member]

My current subwoofer setup consist of 2-10w6v2 powered by 1000/1v2 jl amplifier. I want deeper bass, not any tightercuz that sh*t gives me a headache. Options are add another 10w6v2 using the same power supply so approximately 350 watts rme per speaker or remove all subs and install a 13w6v2 with same power supply. All subs would be in a sealed enclosure do to space available in a 350z. Based on my wants, what do you guys think?

If you want to be loud on deep notes, you gotta go ported. Simply adding another of the same sub is just going to give you the same response you have now, just a little louder.

Switching to a 13"er in a slightly larger than normal box might be a viable option, but still won't give you the authority down low that a low-tuned ported box will.

werd, port them hos if you can or get the single 13 and port it.

Good info, ok, so if you guys were to do this to your vehicle would you build a porter box for the two 10s or go with a single 13 ported? Two 10 would be cheaper cuz we already of the subs but would the low end bass be great..? Also, a 13w6v2 in a ported box would be severly over powered by a 1000/1v2 amp, how do you feel about that?

You need to go ported.

Building a good ported box for the pair of 10s you have would be optimum. The single sub would really suffer with the power you have and you'd lose some cone area AND you'd have to buy a new sub. If you said replace with a single 13W7, I'd say go for it, but not w6

You guys have any idea what frequency I should have the box for 2-10w6v2s ported to?

I'd do around 30 hz.

shit.... I'm about to tune my AA Ava 18" to 17hz. Too low for that. lol.

30 hz on those 10s one 13 on 1kw jl amp would be too much power run 2 and it will get low. I had that setup before. 2 13w6v2s on a 1000/1v2 ported at 28 Hz it played nice and sexy low.

I'd go around 30hz as well...2.5-2.75ft^3 for the pair.
