Nothing beats the right sub in the correct enclosure with the perfect power the subs need. I see people new to car audio go out and buy for example a taramps amplifier and some sundown sa subs and they are in a horrible enclosure with way too much dirty power just burning up the voice coils and it sounds horrible. It's cool that you are trying to help people with knowledge learned over years of experience.

But when I stepped up my game and bought a nicely built sub enclosure custom fit under my back seat. I listened to this dude about the air space. and how if you have more air travel you have more bass. he was pushing 8's I was like no way... I said screw it. I bought 2 kicker Q class L7 8"s in a ported box ran them in series. to about roughly 1400 rms and they took every bit. they are rated for I think the book said 550 rms each. but they pound. No one believes me that they are 8's! straight out flexing my panels in my truck . back glass ripples. roof looks the ocean during a freaking storm ! its nuts. I sound deadened my cab every panel . and I did upgrade all my speakers and amplified them as well. I'm telling you don't sleep on these kicker Q class L7 8's

I wish badass speaker manufacturers like Sundown, Deaf Bonce, etc would make square subs in various design and power levels. I want the absolute stiffest cone, with the softest surround and spiders, and high electrical damping/control. Not to mention a lot of excursions. Make those MFS in like 3 tiers with the 3rd being Nightshade/Apocalypse levels of motor force and excursion. Also, not sure if it works out the way I'm thinking, but my goal with having the stiffest cone, softest surround/spiders, with high electrical damping/control is to make something with excellent accuracy, but a very low FS that's suitable for any enclosure with no distortion.

Real deal question here… daughters care has a 5 channel rated 750 on mono side.. does a clean 700 and dynamics to 950.. looking for single or dual 12’s that can fully use that low power.. I can get up to 8cubes if need be and still have 1/2 the truck available.. got 42 between the wheels. Little over 17 to the rear deck and squats out about 20” from seat backs.. I was looking to get her to a comfortable 140-143bd of a single good sub or dual lower mid levels.. for reference.. something like say 1 l7 Q vs 2 comp r’s to best use the limited power but not starve the drivers either.. pricing falls about right both ways for the budget too.. not even sold on ported tbh. Other then limited power I’ll need a bigger box and going reflex to best use the power. Here is the issue.. if I go single I want to do deep on the box and make it HO if dual it will be basic trapezoidal box.. both going to play similar even given the cone area.. she listens to everything from country to biggie.. to M so really leaning on a q in a deep sealed box as I don’t think the comp r’s will roll off a littler early according to programs unless I tune it really low.. then I’m giving up the drum bass higher up.. Open to any box or speaker setup but im not drilling 3k on her sub and amp.. 700-900 just isn’t really cutting it for here.. even looked at say two scars but they are too power hungry even being cheaper speakers.. Any ideas, thoughts recommendations on a driver that that fits this premise outside the the ones I’m already considering.. in all honestly I think the sgl l7q is likely the best overall. Oh and being a typical 5ch it’s only 2oh on the mono side
