Quick question

not bad for the money, but if you wanna get some bang, get a bigger sealed, i'll take a pic of mine. also, it looks to be a hatchback box. sometimes, it's all about the box.

i think talnlnky will back that up

I thought smaller subs like 10s hit little harder than larger subs. Just larger subs give you that deeper fuller bass.

I noticed the 2 10s in my 240sx with cheapo amp and speakers hit harder than my 2 12s in my acura legend with a better quality amp and speakers. But depending on what im listening to like hip hop music the 12s gave a deeper sound but if im listening to punk rock the 10s gave more punch. And actually sounded better. So maybe it all comes down to what music you listen to the most and what you are trying to achieve.

I see a lot of cars come into my shop with systems but all it really is , is a amp and a huge subs in the back. They dont change out the factory deck or speakers and never match thier subs to compliment the system. They just want thier car to boom. So loud it drowns out all the vocals.

I think personally the subs should be the last thing done to the car and if tuned right you should not even be able to tell when the subs are comming on.

The ability to play "deep low, full" bass is based on a couple of factors, Box choice/configuration is HUGE. the size of a speaker does have some bearing, but I could show you a 15" speaker that can hardly play below 50hz in any type of box... and I can also show you a 4" speaker that can play below 50hz in the proper box.

Most car subs will play decent down to 40hz... below that it really depends on the goals the company had in making the sub...

The biggest clue to look for is the "FS" value or the Resonant frequency of the sub. It basically tells you the POTENTIAL of how low your sub can play (in the right box).

Some subs have FS values of 50hz .. others as low as the teens. Most quality car subs will be in the mid 20's to low 30's

There are a few more, but they are a bit trickier to understand and depend on other variables at the same time.
