An 8" would be interesting lots of midbass but not much on the downlow. Single 10 would be best if your looking minimal bass, buy an amp with a remote bass control so you can tune it to your music that your playing. That's what I would do for minimal Bass, once you upgrade the Bass you will be upgrading the rest. Atleast that's what happend to me anyway.
I went with two 10" Alpine type R's pushing around 800watts I love Bass so thats why I went that route. One member here went with two 8" in a real nice custom blue fiberglass enclosure. I think he was saying he wouldn't do the eights again for lack of downlow punch. Search for the install you will know when you find it. CAS enclosure with a shallow 10" powered with a PDX 5 upgrade your fronts and you would be lovin it. |

He also had them aimed towards the front of the car and not reverberating to the back of the car first. I do agree that a 10 is going to go lower than a 8 but than you could argue that a 12 is going to go lower or louder than a 10.

The 10 he picked is perfect for his application, figured he would upgrade the fronts wise choice. |

I was going to pic up one by Wicked C.A.S. but after thinking about the $450.00 and all the installs and boxes I did in the past,I'm going to make a flush mount .325-.350 cu ft box in the spare tire well(material undecided at this point)one thing I always like to do after I'm done I take it to my local Line-X bed liner place have them place the box upside down and shoot it with the bed liner stuff it adds protection and seals the box well then I carpet the top.

Yeah glass takes time but I think I have found a way to get .35cu ft using MDF and still remain flush,lucky for me that my car is a weekend driver only and occupies a 2 car garage by itself so I have plenty of time to build this.
I know how to use fiberglass (we use it at my work auto body)but I really think I can swing the MDF it will be tight but that's what I want so I have very little movement in the spare tire well. |
