10" Powerbass 3xl's come highly recommended by a friend of mine, and I think that's what I want. Just curious as to what you guys think.

quickly give more info before they get here

 

[j_parnin55]

i would like to be the loudest at school, but doubt that will happen. just a loud, impressive system that sounds great. not a bunch of money to spend, but i am willing a invest some.

electrical: ???

amp: none. open to suggestions.

car: 2000 Mercury Cougar

area: i've got a big trunk.

seats fold down? or is it the hatch?

 

[j_parnin55]

its the hatch, but the back seats do fold down.

good. got a lot of room then. Look stated before, look at a lvl4 18, get someone here to make you a box, i'm sure there are people around you.find an amp that works with that sub, get an extra batt and a few odd and ends you ur all set

 

[j_parnin55]

what is a lvl 4? and an 18 is pretty big... will it be able to keep up with faster-paced music?

 

[soloXgt 10+ year member]

click linky theAnswer posted and take a looksy, and yes you can fit it and yes it can "keep up"
