[QUOTE="jstaguy24, post: 8406469, member: 572670"] Sorry this will be a bit long. I have always ran dual 10's or 12's in the past. I bought my first 15 a couple years ago, I only had it briefly before moving and had to sell it because I couldn't take it with me. I recently had 2-15's in my suburban. Loved them. Had them in a huge ported box. 4.5 net per sub. I traded the suburban to a guy for a ranger extra can truck so I'm starting over. The local dealer talked me into 12's again. I bought 1 ct sounds strato 12 with intentions of buying a second. After some listening I decided to try and stick to 1 sub. I have it a ported box now, it's not prefab but it only has about 1.25 cubic feet net. Sounds ok, gets decently loud but the real low notes are very weak. "Bass I love you" sounds like I'm running a single 5" sub or something (not my typical music, was just a test, but very weak output) last night I was listening to kid rock at a moderate volume. About half way through the song the sub started popping. No change in volume or anything. I put on some bass music, doesn't seem to pop on it, and I can push it pretty hard.
