Need Unbiased Opinions
Ok I have an 02 coupe and I am looking to add subs. I am trying to design an amp rack and enclosure for my car. Now I am looking for SQ not SPL. I want it clean and tight. Here are the configs I was thinking about.
1-10in sub
2-10in subs
2-8in subs
Now I am not looking for brands I want to know what setup you would choose.
Thanks for all your help.

I would also say two 10's. I have had 1 10", 1 12", and 2 10" subs in my vette and the two 10's sounded the best IMHO. Right now I am using 1 10", but will go to two before long,lol.

I have added hit and definition with the sub. Of course, I like to feel my music.
I still believe a double 10" is a great way to go....good output and tight hit. You can always turn it down.

I'll agree with double D. One quality 10, although it depends on your music selection. I have a pair of 8's in my 88 and listen to mostly rock. Their not boomy, but handle the lows just fine for that style of music. Plus they went in the factory rear spkr locations. However, a 10 will give you more low end. Go down to your local car audio shop( not a big chain store) and listen to what they have. Take your own cd. Never demo speakers with their music.

Just kidding.... I like 1 high quality, very well built 10" sub that will handle alot of power, and work well in a small sealed enclosure!! I listen to alot of music, and have found I am critical of my music.... but what I like, and what you like, may be 2 different things... of course, you can always go bigger and just turn it down...

I'm very happy with the new JL 10w3v3. And 1 sub is plenty loud enough to keep up with the front stage which is really prominent in the Focals.
For my musical tastes, the JL's work great. Mostly Rock, Jazz and some pop.
Very efficient
Hard hitting
Clean
Affordable

I have a single 10, but I heard DPG's dual 10's and that was hitting tight and could get loud.
