OK. I have been out of the loop for car audio for a couple years since finishing the last system.
i was running two modest and cheap 8" subs in a 1.1 cu ft sealed enclosure. the bass was decent, but not earth shattering (~120dB).
I am wondering what would be the equivalent or a little bit better for just 1 sub in maybe a ~.75 cu ft box. preferably sealed, but i could go to 1 cu ft ported. i don't care that much about SPL. just nice smooth, low bass.
would one 10 incher be enough? or would i have to go with a 12? brand suggestions under $150 each? DVC? i am looking to mount it in a custom enclosure on the driver's side corner of the trunk. i should see higher gains in the corner, i think.
thoughts? suggestions?
once i figure out the sub, i'll determine what amp to power it.
thanks.
