Are u just looking for maximum doof bass, SQ, Loudness, something to shake ur self and the car. Do u need alot of boot space?

If u want just pure doof factor, loudness and shaking urself and the car, and don't need any sort of boot space i would go for two 12/15inchs.

If u were looking for SQ, need space, or maybe just a bit of low freq, i would suggest a good 12inch sub.

But the all most important factor, how much are u willing to spend because the sky is the limit.

And what cold fusion, said u can never have enough bass, so buy it once and buy it right.

hey ive got exactly what ur thinking of, 2 alpine type r's 12" in my civic hatch, getting 400watts rms each. I chose two cus i figure 2 subs running at half vol has better sq. than 1 working at its limit, this is just my thought could be total crap. i actually brought 1 type x 10", but after alot of thinking i returned it for 2 12" type r's for extra spl, while still providing the good sq the r's are known for.

when i was putting in the system, i weighed each part, which totaled 45kg, (subs, box, wiring, 2 amps. the subs are 9kg each). not much less than my girlfriend! it dosnt sound like much but 45kg makes a very noticable difference in the cars handling, especially being a small light hatchback.

i recently got a leak in my rear tail light, and removed the subs, box, and amps (only to find there was a 1in deep puddle of musty smelly brown water in my tyre well), after fixing the leak, i didnt put my sterio back in for more than a month, not due to lasyness (well maby a little), but because the car felt soo different to drive, mainly in the way it cornered, also could notice a difference in acceleration, so i chose to keep it out for a while.

Unless u want crazy spl, one GOOD sub should be plenty. also it depends on how much importance u place on handling.

Exactly how i feel. u may be happy at the start but it dosnt take long at all till ur craving more bass (i think its called hearing loss ). i just didnt consider the change in performance.

somthing to think about.

Atm I've got a twin sub setup, Kenwood DB+ Excelon (I think these are old skool, not sure) and hell they're harsh on the eardrums! Twin subs is way too much in a hatch, you'll go deaf in no time at all. I'm gonna get rid of the subs at a later date and which to one sub... 2 is way too much for my eardrums!
