[QUOTE="ArcaneParadise, post: 3571, member: 540990"] The Audiobahn aluminums are okay, I will not put them down but there are two out there that are much better. The Infinity Perfect or the Eclipse Titanium or Aluminum series. Get either a 10 or a 12. 15 inches and higher shows that they are used for SPL purposes and sound quality usually goes down, if not significantly and they are usually a little more sluggish. Trust me. Look into the Infinity and the Eclipse ones. Infinities are about half the price of the Eclipses so you may want to look into those. I speak from experience with the Infinities. I have 2 10" in the back of my truck. They can go VERY loud for 10s and match most 12s. They have about 0.65 inches excursion, which provides for some pretty vicious cone action. To sum it up they have the ability to go very high with little or no sound quality loss, they hit EXTREMELY low (18Hz!), they are "quick", and they have some of the best sound quality on the market. Like the person before me said, you may want to just go with one 10 or 12, but for a full experience get two and if it is two much then turn the gain down a tad. Really, the Infinity Subwoofers are amazing. If you decide for some reason not to go with my recommendation, be sure to a.) Get a subwoofer with an aluminum cone and b.) Do not get a 15" or bigger subwoofer. You said you wanted sound quality and if you follow those two guidelines you'll be set and if you get the Infinities you will be a very happy person, I sure am. Just be sure to give them enough power. 500-700 RMS should do. That is about how much I give mine and I have turned them up VERY loud and a.) they did not bottom out or show signs of doing so b.) they hit very clear. Definately a top recommendation from me.
