I custom built a pair of MTF sealed boxes in the walls of my CC. It wasn't
easy, but the sound was great. I used a pair of MTX 8" as that's all I can
fit as the volume of the boxes were limited. I powered them w/ a
SoundStream Reference 500s (about 300 watts to the pair). Sealed boxes
gives you the best overall quality sound but require more power and provide
less thump for the $$.
2 vs. 4 ohm is simple a measure of resistance (really inductance). If you
simply stick with the 4 ohm that will give you the best ability to vary the
install to suit your needs and matching to your particular amp.

Subject: DML: Where's my woofer????
OK, quick question for everyone since I know there's quite a variety of
people on the DML. I'm looking to add 2 10" subwoofer and an amp to my
existing "stock" infinity system. I want some good sounding bass but not
sure what to go with. My goal is to only spend $400, and still get some
name brand and quality. So far I've come up with 2 JBL 10" and a Kenwood
827 amp(150x2@2ohms) for around $300 and still have to buy a box or two.
Who out there has already put some good priced systems in their vehicles?
What's the difference between 2 ohms and 4 ohms....why more power from 2
ohms...sorry guys.......I'm no electrician. I'd like to be pushing atleast
100-150+ amps to each woofer. Any ideas welcome on amps, woofers, boxes,
and setups! Thanks for any info.
