[QUOTE="Jakerrr, post: 8433835, member: 637923"] Single SoQu 18" hdc4 tuned to 33-34 hertz is what you should get man if you want the best for your money and you want to buy new. CSCStang will help you out with this, but in a hatchback/wagon, I believe both sub and port up is optimal. Possibly better sound with port back, but I'm no expert. Both back is optimal for trunks because it tends to mitigate cancellation but you'll often see the best way to go with big sub(s) in trunks is sub UP port back simply because there may not be enough room/height for the sub to face backward. On the other hand, if low cost isn't that much of a priority, there's a lot you can do. My apologies if you already specified a budget, but it seemed like you were considering 2 15" hdc4's. That would be a good option if you can fit it. Also, from the way you were insisting on tuning lower than recommended, it seems like low frequency reproduction is a priority for you. If you are mainly just trying to put together a daily ground pounder that can kill the lows down to 25-29 hz with authority, I would just go ahead and buy something on the subwoofer classifieds here and wait until something comes along that's known for getting down and nasty lol.
