[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7447155, member: 549629"] Those modeling programs do not/can not take into account the transfer function of the vehicle, so they will (almost) always model with lower output than a system that has been metered inside your car. Two decent 10's, or one solid 12 shouldn't have much problem hitting mid 130's, as that is a relatively modest goal. With your budget, and your goal (SQ over output), Id probably look into getting one nice 12 instead of two decent 10's. But both setups have their own advantages that we can elaborate more on if you want us too. Ported enclosures can be designed to display a relatively flat response in-vehicle, its just usually a bit more complicated design process, and potentially requires some processing to get just right. That's not to say that a sealed enclosure wouldn't necessarily benefit from processing too however. I would highly recommend ditching the idea of powering your mids/highs with the deck's built-in amplifier. They are weak amps, and tend to distort well before reaching even that modest output potential. If you want SQ, you should focus more on the mids/highs, and their amplification, than you should worry about the subwoofer. Good luck, and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
