[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8596709, member: 650438"] yeah what your goals are, sealed boxes ain't gonna do a god d@mn thing to achieve anything absolute garbage in that aspect. Niether is going with kicker with your equipment choice. I was a former corolla owner myself and its hard to get loud in those cars man. Sealed was always the most quiet setup in the car. Id do a pair of 12s in a 4.0 to 4.5 cubic feet box tuned to 38hz. on 2k-3k watts. Soundqubed hds 312 are the subs you want. for an amp this is where the big boys shop [URL="http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/categories/amps/shop-by-brand.html"]Amps - SHOP BY BRAND - Page 1 - SSA STORE[/URL]. IF thats out of your budget, you can settle for finding an orion xtr 2500.1 or even an audiopipe apcl 3000.1. I'd avoid the american bass phantom and hybrids along with any hifonics amps. The normal expensive american bass VFL are good tho. Just nothing else. For the prep work, get two AGM batts in the rear or one big one. If possible upgrade your alternator. 0 gauge ofc kit big 3 upgrade 0 gauge as well. lots of "great stuff expanding foam(red can)" stinger expert road kill A 4 volt head unit with 24 bit dac, 13 band EQ or higher, time alignment and network mode. This step is important, without a good head unit signal you arent getting loud, the stock head unit is garbage and Line output convertor setups WILL NOT get loud in a corolla. Literally will go from sounding like door speaker bass to REAL subwoofer bass with a proper signal line. Rip all the upholstery out of the trunk and deaden the whole trunk and rear deck with the roadkill, absolutely necessary. Use spray foam on every little tiny gap or crack you find until everything is solid, especially the trunk lid and rear deck. Get rid of the rear deck panel thats just gonna be a rattle monster, use carpet or something to cover up the metal. This is what steps i had to take to get my corolla crushing lungs and making passengers cry with a single 12 on 2k. Done right, you should be louder than that. which is when your setup starts to crush lungs. so this was my old OLD setup [MEDIA=youtube]VjYofXcjTRQ[/MEDIA] before i did any prep with just a single 500 rms 15 inch sub in ported box, as you can see with a single 15 already takes up the whole trunk. This setup was cool and to most people they couldnt breath but that aint sh*t compared to my real setup afterwards. the setup in that video is about 139 db. The setup after is closer to a 148 db thats when things actually got fun. [/QUOTE]
