So im looking for a new sub setup for my car.
Im leaning more towards SQ than SPL. Space is really not that much of an issue. Listen to a little of everything. 6-700$ max.

Had my eye on these:
Sub
Amp

I am just getting into car audio and im looking for some opinions so any input would be nice.

 

hope you know better than to ship via UPS from states, always look for USPS if you can.

 

I would be headed to a pair of 12" subs, with the appropriate amp and then have a proper box made for the application. It will provide more than ample amounts of bass response. Bigger does not necessarily mean better.

 

Don't buy that for $200 when the 12's are $100. If you want 60% sq & 40% spl than buy either an Fi Q or SSA Icon 15", build a ported box, and buy a 1000W amp although 750W is fine. If you want 70/30 than buy an Fi Q 18", a sealed box, and a 1000W amp. They should all take up around the same space, maybe the 18 will perform better in around 5 cubes. The 18 will dig deeper, be flatter, and have better SQ, while the ported box will edge it out in SPL but not by much. The Q 18 is priced at $309. If you buy used you can get a 1000W amp for about $200. What's it going in?

Edit: 2 ported 12's would be nice over the ported 15 but not a sealed 18. If 1000W is an issue than get a JL 18W6 (500W RMS).

 

I honestly don't think i have room for a 18. I have a vw Jetta and the subs are going in the trunk. It is a decently sized trunk it is ok if the subs take up the entire space. Getting them IN the trunk is the only issue.
So would 2 12's in a shared ported box be alright?...or separate boxes?
Is there anyone else here who has tried to fit 2 12's in the back of their 04 Jetta?

 

Use one box. For box space look at cardomain.com sorted by audio rating. I've seen 2 ported SSX 15's in 8 cubes in a vw trunk, maybe it was a different model.
