what subs? 12's in general get a little lower than tens, less punchy.

they are pretty nice subs, esp. if you get a good deal on the price. some people don't like metal woofers, say they sound pingy (no good word for it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]). they take more power to get started, but if you've got the power, they will hit hard.

I am running 2 Fosgate 12in in my trunk powered by a Sony 760w Explode. I had to dynamat my trunk completely because the rattle was really agervating me. But all in all they sound great. I also put a 200w x 4 Fosgate for the inside of my car and have it running 2 Cerwin Vega 6 1/2 and 2 Kenwood Excellon 6x9 in the back. Sounds great. I even had to dynamat the pannels on the sides of the back seats becaause I noticed a little rattle coming from there as well. I have a coupe 2k1 LX It might not be made for speed but I can make it sound and look good (hopefully) hehe

Get dynamat you don't want peaple to hear you rattle before they here your music.

I have two 12" Kenwoods in a sealed box. It sounds great and is loud too, but not that insanely loud. I'm not all about bass, I listen to a lot of music with highs and such. I've had the system hooked up since last August, and I think the rattle if starting to annoy me...

I'm running two 12" Kicker Comp VR's sharing a KX600.1 amp.. this is my first attempt at a system and I really havent heard many others so my gauge on how they sound may be unreliable.. but I can tell you that I love how low they get and still keep good SQ to boot. I'll join a number of you in saying that any form of dynamat is a MUST for our cars... do it BEFORE you start running wires and such to the usual trouble areas (rear deck, trunk lid, quater panels) its a pain in the azz if you ask me but I learned the hard way how to do things right so hopefully this'll help. Payce!

I only have 1 12, but I love it! Like someone else said, I just need to hear it in the car, don't need to hear it outside. 1 is more than plenty for me. At first I questioned whether it be good enough, since *everyone* seems to get 2 subwoofers, regardless of the size. But I'm very pleased.

I run 2 12'in solo baric L5 with kx600.1 amp. I think it sounds better then my friend's 15' JLw0. When I open up my stereo store I will be trying out the soloX, 18inch monster with two kx1200.1 and will also try out the visionik product line.

lol cant let it die... im running 3 hx2 power rockfords... and Im downsizin and upsizin at the same time... I just ordered one speaker... 1 JL W7 13'' ... the box should take up the whole trunk... so i guess its not how many speakers you have ... its just the quality of the ones you do. 3 12'' RF's sound great.. i mean my back window u can see it BEND up when they're on.. but Im hoping to get more SPL with the one JL :-)
