    You guys ar scaring me haha. My system already sounds great to me, I'm just looking for something that will compliment it..

    Do you think twelves are too big for me? I listen to pop, alternative, dance, and some rock. Not usually rap.

    And if I'm looking for more of a compliment than overpowering bass, is sealed better?

    Sorry for all the banter. Everyone thinks they know more than everyone else about automotive speakers and sound, sometimes tempers get the best of us. Anyhow, back to the business at hand. If you want a solid tight bass that sounds true to the music, go with a midsize sealed enclosure. And no, two 12's isn't normally too much, unless you don't amplify the other 4 speakers, than may be. Rule of thumb is that you can always turn the gain down if its too loud for you, but not up if its not loud enough.
    Infinity all around.

    Well the other 8 (or atleast the 6, I won't amplify the tweets)speakers won't be
    amplified til probably mid summer. I plan on having these subs in early may. But I'm still thinking two twelves sealed. Cuz I want a good punch..


    stupid question, but can you turn down the amount if power an amp sends out?
