[QUOTE="Why So Cereal?, post: 7579578, member: 626047"] my main concern with the Stealthbox is that, though it may look nice, it may not give you the performance that you would like. You could probably get better results from a more "traditional" sub box (square/rectangular box built to specs for the sub). But its really a chance youre taking with the stealthbox, it could sound great to you, or you could hate. Are you willing to chance that with your money? you could probably get away with 300wrms on the sub, IDK. But I do know that generally you lose output going sealed as opposed to ported. So while 350w ported may be sufficient output for you, 350w sealed may not be. (The reason I keep recommending sealed boxes is because youre concerned with saving space, otherwise I'd recommend a ported box.) For example, in my car (equipment in my sig), each of those 10s is rated at 600wrms and i give each roughly 375 -400wrms, ported and its just barely enough output for me in my little Scion tC to keep up with my front stage (no rears). I'd hate for you to only run 300w to the sub and not get the lows you want. It could work for you since you may not like as much bottom as I do, but I always like to look at it as its better to have too much than not enough. If your subs are too loud, you can turn em down; but, if your subs arent loud enough, you cant just go cranking the amp or you'll clip them. Edit: and even with 300wrms, the 12 will still be louder than the 10 due to cone area advantage so keep that in mind moreso than the rms power ratings. [/QUOTE]
