hey im trying to decide between a 2 or 1 sub setup. I want it to get loud but i want really good sound quality. I was thinking about either 2 RE SE's or 1 RE sx. i have to go with 10's due to limited trunk space. its going to be driven daily for at least 2 hours a day. what are the pros and cons of each side? which would be louder? which better SQ? any info would be greatly appreciated thanks. oh yea i was thinking about 700-800 for the price range for subs and amps/ but id prefer not to go too high because im going to have to get a new alt=/

I would go with a ID max sub ported and feed it somewhere between 500-800 watts:-) kicker 600.1 JL 500/1 they would both be very nice:-)

if you can spend about 700$ try looking into a mtx 9500 12 and a hifonics 2000d or possibly a kicker amp.....dont got iwth jl to expensive unless you have the $ then they are a great amp

i heard mtx's sound like sh!t and like i said i want really good sound quality, and i cant go with ported either, has to be sealed. lol. 3000GT trunk is like 5 inches before it hits the hatch so me and a friend are making a triangular box

how much do id max's run... are they better than sx's? and i assume your saying youd prefer a 1 sub setup over a 2 sub setup?

u might find one on ebay for about 200-250, and they sound a ton better than sx's but dont get as loud.

A SX will get louder but the ID max will get plenty loud and is personally one of my favorite subs EVER:-)

thats why i said ixmax vs 2 RE SEs :-p the SEs are 1200wrms and the idmax would be 1000.... but rms alone doesnt mean which would be louder, and which would setup would have better SQ
