System Setup Help

[Neonsxt0486 10+ year member]

Right now i have a 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch HX2 dual 2ohm wired at one ohm mono. Its in a custom ported box tuned to 35hz. Its powered by a Hifonics Brutus BX500D. It's in the trunk of a 2004 Dodge Neon SXT. Its doin ok by itself an hits fairly hard. Would it hit harder if I had 2 12" adire audio shivas in a sealed box and a different amp? I want quality but every now and then i need that ghetto bass and im just not getting it. I'll post pics of my set up as soon as i figure out how!

well, 2 shivas will be a 4ohm load on the amp.

You want 300-400 a woofer for optimum results.

The Shivas will be louder and sound alot cleaner, they arent really ghetto bass subs

If you can fit 8ft^3 of enclosure in your trunk id go ported with the Shivas
