[QUOTE="sportyaccordy, post: 1082406, member: 560226"] OK, here are the requirements of what I want: - Somewhat lightweight (I'd prefer 1 10") - Small space requirement - Rolloff @ around 20-25Hz - Flat, flat, flat response - Efficiency is a must- I'll cut my deck if I have to... Right now I'm really thinking of going with a Dayton 10" with a matched passive 10". What is the most efficient kind of system though? Would it make sense to run a port from my trunk to the inside of the car (i.e. not involving the speaker, like a giant bandpass box)? Right now I have 1 8" in a matched ported box and some decent 6x9's and they provide a decent amount of oomph...somehow they all work together and really reach low (I'd say they rolloff at 35-40Hz), so I'm just looking for a [I]little[/I] more bass with the best accuracy and the lowest energy requirements. So basically, here are the questions: -Anyone have any experience w/passive radiators? -Is a lot of the bass lost going through the back seat/rear deck? Would a port from the trunk to the cabin make sense w/o it connecting to the box? -I only need about 300-400W RMS...should I just go w/a generic 12" in a ported box and call it a day? I really want to do something different but at the end of the day I'm cool w/whatever works. So what do you think? 10+passive 10 or single 12? [/QUOTE]
