Hello everyone im new to this and looking to purchase new subs for my 2000 Acura Integra Ls. I have narrowed it down to the fallowing subs and also will need recommendations for a box for the subs if possible. Im trying to use up as least possible trunk space as possible. I have Hifonics Brutus 1700 amp already. The subs im looking to get are either 2 sa-10, 2 10" fi ssd, or 1 10" fi BL.

what do you guys think i should get? as im looking for the setup with the best bass output possible where i can take up the least possible trunk space. I mainly listen to Rap/Hip hop music.

Also looking at maybe getting a box design for the recommended subs with demensions if possible.

Regarding if I want it ported or sealed I dont mind what ever gets the best result is what I would prefer thanks.

For output and listening to rap ported would be the way to go in my opinion.

Also 2 sa or SSD 10's are going to have more output than a single BL.

What size is the space you are willing to give up?

Go 2 10". Fi SSD's hands down. Great company and products. Good luck with your build. :)

Go 2 10" BLs :peepwall:

We cannot give you box designs/ideas without measurements lol.

You're going to lose the hatch if you go ported. It's simply going to take up a lot of space. No way around it. If space savings are a consideration, the most cone area you can get in a smallish sealed box is the way to go. A pair of 12s sealed will hang with a pair of 10s in boxes of equal gross volume. The 12s can be in their optimum sized box where the 10s will either be in a box smaller than they really want and/or you will have to sacrifice port area to the point where either port noise is a serious problem or the box begins behaving like a severely mistuned box at high output as the air in the port packs up.

If you really want a ported box, 8's might be the way to go. That said the last pair of 8's I ported had ports that displaced more air than the actual chamber of the box just to get enough port area with a tuning around 40hz. Each 8 had right at .6cf of airspace. They weren't going to win any SPL comps but they were pretty surprising in output.
