[QUOTE="Bassick, post: 8163773, member: 656783"] Hold up! Missing the point, I know what I have, a budget sub, yes a budget sub, $100 bucks a piece. In the foreseeable future I will be upgrading to one 18", somewhere around $500 bucks, don't know what brand yet. But for right now, I have exactly what I want. A reasonable priced sub-woofer for entry level. These are my play-with Subs that take 600 watts RMS (Hifonics claim). And as for as asking for suggestions, not to be rude, but I wasn't looking for any. You guys can do me a big favor by not telling me about how I should have made suggestions about buying equipment, and tell me about the performance of the Brutus BRZ15D4. For instance, the owner's manual says that each sub optimal is 4 cubic feet, and I have more than enough room for both subs. But what I don't like about it is that it is tuned to 40 Hz. I want be tuning that high. I'm thinking around 30 Hz. Reason being is because I'm going for SQ not SPL. I want be dumping a lot of power to these subs because they want hold up. I plan to stay below half way gain, subsonic filtered around 27-30 Hz, and low pass filtered at 75 Hz. Want be turning up the volume at head unit to blasting levels. I am deeply passionate with getting extremely low. I know I want reach my goal with these subs, they are just a start. I do have a master plan. My box will be built into the trunk (actually the trunk will be the box) of my 2000 Grand Marquis. I don't plan on getting rid of the car anyway, and if I do, that will be the next person's problem (sold as is, take it or leave it). If you don't know what the trunk of a Grand Marquis or Crown Vic looks like google it. I will take up all the space from finder to finder, and seal off all holes with something like expansion foam.
