If you get those speakers they dont sound right if you dont have a big enough box. I had 2 12s and my box took up the entire back it didnt really sound right.

in high school I got a pair of JL 15W0 from a buddy for really cheap...since then i have never gone with a different brand

granted the W0 series is discontinued but now they have W0v2 and thats what i have now i have 2-10" JL W0v2. They sound very clean and loud when i want them to be

and you cant beat the price of the W0v2...i think i paid 100 bucks each

you can't beat 3 ten's with 12db of boost at 45hz.

ten's are cheap, and three are same as 2 12's, and you can swap/trade/try out more brands, and you have more voice coils to properly match the desired impedance of the amp.


get ones that use a small volume, and make a box about six inches tall, and takes up the entire rear floor. put the speakers near the front so you can stack stuff in the back, on the box.


FWIW, i have an infinity bass link in another vehicle: clean, clear, dynamic, but does NOT pound, but it takes up no real space.

DVC subs, even in a pair, can match any impedance to the amplifier. You dont need three subs to work. two properly done 12's can be louder than three 10's.
