[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8287112, member: 658055"] With a wide range of music like that, you're probably better off with a sealed enclosure. That should cut the box size in half too. I don't know how different size subs sounds relative to one another, but they make some beefy 8s and 10s that can take double and triple the power you have now. Check this thread: [URL="http:////forums/subwoofers/605686-ten-brands-you-cant-go-wrong.html,"]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/subwoofers/605686-ten-brands-you-cant-go-wrong.html,[/URL] find a brand you like, and a sub you like.
