Here's an introduction to Black Betty. When Scott was shooting this, I was up in the suite cooking for his clients. Later that day when they shut down the convention hall Scott was dealing with clients and asked me to shut down the car. THAT was very interesting. I spent a little time listening...

400 Watts is fine mang. Just get a woofer or two that are efficient and into that sealed enclosure. You'll be amazed what the "feeling" is when you have woofers that combine well with your mids (and with the music as a whole).

What's in my trunk is three amplifiers, a compressor and the air tank. What's the tank for?

That's the plan. My current sub does not seem to "combine well" with my mids. My current system seems to be optimized for RAP music. It does that really well. My ported box is tuned for that stuff. I need it to be more optimized for METAL. I'm going with two Infinity Reference 1060w subs this time, in a 1.5cf sealed box. These subs are effecient ( 91db ) low power ( max RMS 275w ) and have a factory rated Xmax of 13mm. On paper, they move some air with lower power requirements. Going from a single sub to 2 should keep my SPL up, while the sealed box will tighten up my response. Very basic stuff compared to what everyone else is doing, but that's where I am at. Got six 12x24 sound dampening sheets coming too. Probably need to buy some more because I plan to do the rear hatch area as well as the doors and rear quarters. So much road noise in this little car.

Ah, okay. I didn't know if you had air-bag suspension or something.
