SQ woofer ~500W RMS small enclosure

[timma100 10+ year member]

Building a system for my new car 05 Altima, if anyone remembers (I hope no one does) I had a 95 Buick LeSabre before this. It had two stock 5.25"s and 2 stock tweeters on the doors, powered by a free Kenwood deck that is under $70 new and overheated a lot, and 2 SA12s on a SAZ-1500D in the trunk.. Needless to say I didnt hear many vocals.. if any //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif. SO! I wanted to do this new build differently. Here is what I have so far.

(2) Hertz HSK 165 Component Sets. (4 Tweeters, 4 6.5")

Hertz EP4 4 channel amp

Pioneer DEH-80PRS

JL 500.1

I do deliveries with my car, so I need trunk space but I also want low end. Right now i'm considering the SA8v2 but! the rest of the build is SQ and I feel that the SA8 is more of an SPL/Mix woofer (am I wrong?). Anyone know of a solid SQ woofer that will do well on 500WRMS, and be okay in a smaller enclosure??

Thanks

i have a gtr12 passive radiator and you can get

Boston Acoustics G312-44 12" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils at Crutchfield.com

amazing setup and you would only need 1 cube total and get the output of a ported box

the passive radiator is brand new i have a pair of g3's i love and will not sell. i bought mine for a lot more than 150, boston is clearing out there car audio stuff. some of the ebst sounding subs i have ever heard and i have my 2 on 1000 rms for years now

i just happen to have one gtr12 laying around brand new id do 60 shipped 2 u. so for under 200 you will have the output of a ported box and the extra cone area
