Re: How to fit subs

Not so true, I like to "hear" my music AND play it loud sometimes. I go for all out sound systems when I do one. On my last build I had 2 sets of mids, two sets of tweeters, a pair of mid-bass, and a pair of subs. All running off of a 10 way crossover and 5 seperate amps. You couldn't just hear only bass a couple blocks away, you could sing along with your favorite song!
That being said I'm not sure how much bass you need but a dual voice coil 8" sub in a properly tuned and ported box with an amp matching the speakers rated power will normally be plenty. Heck, I did four 6" subs running off a 150 watt competition amp once and everybody swore I must have had a couple 10's!
