How do you know what setup you will need BEFORE you know what vehicle you will be driving ???

Not sure if my phone is bringing up all of the post in this thread so I could be reading this all wrong ???

good point and i just read the newbie section these this vs that discussion is frowned upon in the forum just too much garbage. i already have the box so im just getting whatever fits requirements. overtime im sure my ideas will change overall im pretty sure ill be purchasing a honda sedan so it'll be a small trunk.

No one that has ever asked that question has been better served by the Q.  Ignore terms and how things are labeled and instead focus on what you will have for a car, how the installation will be, what your goals are etc.  The actual driver is just a tiny part.

You were looking at Gcon's before, don't undersell them...

And please shut off the caps lock.

You'll have the possibility for a bigger difference from a box change than a woofer change...

Car first, space second, goals, and then shopping.

Nothing magic about a BL or a Q.  Don't get me wrong they are great drivers, but like all subs as long as they are designed right you reach a law of diminishing returns quickly.
