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.
