[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8187936, member: 655960"] The box makes a huge difference in sound & the impedance of the subs makes a difference in amplifier efficiency, not in sound quality... unless you run a lower impedance than the amplifier can handle. OP, no one but you can answer whether or not 500 watts would be enough power. For me, 500 watts won't cut it on my mids but then, I'm a certifiable basshead. You might be amazed at the sound one 12 in a properly designed box can produce on 500 watts while that setup would be child's play for others. And you might think my setup is complete overkill. And that's fine... to each his own. So to better answer your questions... What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to fill in some absent bass response or do you want to shake your rear view mirror out of position every time you turn the volume knob? Maybe knock it off the windshield? Blow your nose hairs around? Those are very important questions to answer before someone can advise you on how to go about building a system that meets your desires. [/QUOTE]
