    If you can get 1 cuft before displacement, I would step up to the Q12 sealed. Qtc would be around what most like, and you could back it down a little to .7 with about .75 lbs of polyfill. Less expensive option that a pair of SSD10s and should be about optimal in the space and with that power.

    Thanks,

    Scott

    I would love to go with a 12" Q but it wouldn't work. I don't know if u read my post above, but I don't have the mounting depth or surface area for a 12.

    i might be able to get 1 cu ft before displacement for each driver. will 550 watts be enough to get the SSD's moving to their potential or would i be better off going to another sub that does better off of that kind of power? the only other subs i have been looking at besides the Q and SSD are the RL-i's...

    I have been more leaning towards the idea of 2 10's now instead of the one. I still only have 1100 watts to work with though. What would end up being the loudest configuration though in a sealed box?

    2 SSD 10's with 550 watts each

    1 SSD 10 with 1100 watts

    1 Q 10 with 1100 watts

    or should I look elsewhere for 2 10's being powered by 550 each?

    To solve a lot of the ideas and things being thrown around.

    First of all I drive a 1990 BMW 325is, right now I have had 6.5" comps in custom kicks for almost 2 years now and I'm becoming unhappy with them. The kick pods are driving me insane since there was not much space to work with and the car is manual. I want to go with 5.25 and just drop them into the stock locations so I don't have to deal with the hassle the next time around.

    Second, the issue of space. The idea of a single 10 started when someone suggested the area below the rear window in my car in the space behind the door panel (then facing in towards the other side of the car). I might be able to get up into the 1 cu ft volume range before displacement, but there is not a lot of depth to work with or outside surface area to mount anything greater than a 10. I could possibly run 2 10's, one on either side, but I am not sure how they would sound facing each other like that. Also, with the sub right behind my I think 1 10's output should be OK. Plus I really only have 1100 watts max to play with, so then it drops me down to 550 each for a set of 2 subs and I have to look elsewhere anyways.

    If anything was unclear just let me know and I will try to re-explain. Thanks for the help so far.

    Edit: My full setup as of right now

    Headunit: Nakamichi CD-400

    Components: RE RE's

    Compnent Amp: Memphis MC-300 (150x2)

    Sub: 12" RE SE (1.2ft^3 sealed) * in the trunk

    Sub Amp: Memphis MC-500D (500x1)

    the trunk is very well sealed off from the cabin in my car which is why i want to try out an in-cabin install of a sub. if this doesn't pan out then i will just throw a 12 or 15 in a ported box with the 1100 watts and solve the problem with more output :woot:

    What options would I need to best run a 10" SSD off 1100 watts? It would be going into a sealed enclosure probably around .6 cu ft after displacement. How would this compare to an FI Q on the same power in the same enclosure? The mounting depth of the Q might be pushing my limits a little too far, but I think the smaller enclosure requirement might be able to make up for it. I listen to almost entirely hip hop music and I will need it to help fill in a little mid bass since I am only going to be running 5.25 comps up front.

    thanks for the help. all im really worried about is whether i will need to seal the sub into my cabin (through my ski hole) along with the port through the rear deck to keep the bass completely out of the trunk and in the cabin only and thankfully it doesnt look that way.

    alright in a ported box, where does the bass sound come out of? entirely the port.. or the port and the sub.. or what. im wondering cus im going to port my box into my rear deck and i need to know whether or not i need to seal the sub off into my car also. thanks.

    mounting depth is definately not the deciding factor, i worded my last post wrong i was just trying to make a comparison to the other speakers that i looked at. i really want to hear the 307's and the mag for that matter. u wouldnt by any chance be going to the big meet in jupiter, fl in august would u?

    and would the 307's do well in my kick panels flush with the side, not at an angle?

    the 302's are one of the component sets im lookin at, just have a few questions. whats the mounting depth on them?

    and i think i remember reading somewhere that it said the 302's need custom kickpanels and such, is this true?

    or will they go into my stock kickpanels i have a 1990 bmw 325is so the stock locations are down in the kickpanels but they arent angled they are flush with the side.

    thanks,

    nick

    edit: where it says 302 i mean 307.

    yeah i was thinking about that, but the rear deck already has speakers in it so it wouldnt be that much of a problem. i gotta get my car back so i can look at stuff. and xtrmeasures, what kinda 8's are those?

    i posted this over at caraudio.com just now and i thought id post it over here to get your guys' opinion as well.

    I have heard on other forums that the trunk of my car (1990 BMW 325is) is very well sealed off and its hard to get bass into the car so I am considering putting some 8's in the rear deck. Preferably 2 but I may be able to add a third. Just wondering if you guys could direct me in the right area and give me some ideas for nice 8 inch woofers. I want these things to get as loud as possible, I was originally planning on getting a 12" SX. I have looked into the RE8's, the Crystal Comps, and and Diamond Audio CM3. If you guys could give me any info on any of these subs or direct me towards some others that would be great. I think i may try and port these if possibly btw. If you need any other information to help me please ask.

    Thanks
