In the trunk space I take it??You'll be better off with a pair of heavy hitting 10s to work with that trunk space for a great enclosure to get the best performance in my opinion/experience

SoundQubed HDS310

You will need to do some deadening,as these subs will rattle that car apart with the right box built and power.Im running a pair atm in my CRV on 1500rms(Still under powered) and they are Nasty as hell!!

I agree, 10's, depends on how much space your willing to give up, but if you do 12's why not the HDC's

But what would you say out of the ones I listed??

If you have waaay too much cash to blow, do the JL W7 setup for moderately loud and nice sounding bass. If you want balls to the walls loud then there are much better choices out there.

well, not a jl fan, over priced and on every corner, type r, honestly, never heard one so I can't say, sundown, could go either way but being there are other brands out there, I would keep searching, DD's I have always liked, but you can buy almost 2 subs of equal quality for the same price. if I was stuck choosing and had absolutely no way around it I may go with the DD's or alpines (just to try them out )

Well I was looking at the soundqu bed and also sundown x series and the skar audio ddx. I'm kind of afraid of going these brands incase something happens. Just want something really loud where people can hear me coming

The Type Rs will get down pretty good. Ive heard several of those slamming and smelling warm..lol,at alot of shows..You can prob squeeze close to 4 cubes out of that trunk,Be close though.Getting a pair of 12s to sound good/performing to theyre best, thats why I say tens/heavy tens you can get a hell of an enclosure with a pair of tens, and sound fantastic, and hit some nice lows

I have one 12" idmax in my wife's liberty, the other night when I was playing around with it and tuning I went in the house to grab a drink and she was like, I thought the mirror was going to fall off the wall lol, she said everything on the wall was shaking, and I had all the windows up.

That JL w7 setup would be like $3,000 just in subs and amps...what's the rest of the system going to consist of?

You can get DDs and these guys are telling you to get Type Rs?

JL is cheap for a winning SQ company

The people that say DD is high, have you ever checked on pricing?

i bought my idmax new for $450 and a used eclipse amp DA7232 for around $300,

Either way I hope you are adding a alternator.

we are all entitled to our opinions, and that's fine, but you seem to bash everyone that does not have what you like, i will give you that you know some things, but most of what i see from you in most all peoples post is negativity, oh you should get this and that, whatever, you are a waste of time, now you are going to throw out all of this i know more then you and i am smarter then you BS, and i don't give a $hit, so do your thing and i will just ignore you.
