[QUOTE="spiral72, post: 8902855, member: 693830"] Let's try this as I don't really have a proper person to ask. Application is 1980 Firbird with very limited trunk space after the T-tops are stowed. Mids and highs are pretty good with aftermarket stuff though I plan to add an smaller amp to drive those soon instead of the Kenwood head unit. My main problem is box volume for what I hope to do. I'm hoping that your advice will help me get serious lows since I'm not trying to win a competition. I just sold my car with some big car audio stuff. I miss the bass so much I gotta have something...... and my truck's under seat box is pretty pathetic.
