Subwoofer Showdown!

[Immerse]

totally agree. i've done the opposite, and have a bigger amp powering a single sub.

i've got a honda civic type r, and its quite a small car so there's not a lot of room for subs, plus i didn't want to weigh it down too much. so my current setup is just one jl 12w3v3, but i've got it powered by a 900w bass amp. because its at 4ohm, its only kicking out 450w, so the amp has a lot more control. and the sub only needs about 350, so the result is a lovely clean controlled sound. and i've sound deadened the boot and doors, so it just sounds really nice.

Ive got myself 2 10" re audio rex10d4's. running at about 300ish rms at 4 ohms. i was quite sad when i noticed that due to the dual voice coils i could not get the full 2 ohm power out of my zx700.5 that i had hoped for.. but it still shakes my civic plenty. unfortunately at the time of purchase i hadnt researched ohms law and had no idea the dvc would prevent me from wiring to 2 ohms. if i were to do it again i think i might just get 1 12 ported to save some trunk space. probably an l3

i like RE's. but yeah man you should have made sure your voice coils matched the maximum load your amp can provide

tell me about it! but its ok im really happy with how it sounds. its been almost 6 months and i still havent hooked my amp to my speakers.. quite the task.
edit: ever since my recent car crash my subs cut in and out constantly. you should see me punch my steering wheel like a monkey when a track comes on on a getdarker podcast im listening to and the bass cuts out.
