I got some subs for xmas a couple years ago. Just 2 crappy 12" duals and a 200 watt amp that didn't push it for shit. I sold those and got a single 15" kicker comp that sounded so much better than those last 2. I wish I had a bigger amp cuz it woulda sounded much better...but then I got a mustang and didn't feel like building a custom box for the tiny trunk and just sold everything and used the money for go fast mods lol.

i recently got rid of my 3 Comp VR 12's and 3 Kicker Impulse amps that i had in my van. i was metering at about 149-151 dB. i'm currently looking to get 2 or 3 L7s eventually. what are you running yours with and what size/port tuning on the box? a lot of people think SPL is dumb and "all that bass sounds like shit/isn't needed" but its a hobby just like anything else that some people are into and some people aren't. and if you set it up right, it can sound pretty good.

I have a Wal * Mart / Curcuit City system in my van... 2 Pioneer 10" "I like the hard hit" of the 10's for rock and roll and the 10's hit hard like a firework with 400 watts behind them... I got 4 6x9's and 2 6" rounds and 4 tweeters... I have Jensen amps,don't knock em till you try em... I have an old Alpine head unit,the best clarity in the tweets and mid range IMO...

I hate to say it, but it's true. My brother went through that phase and I watched him every step of the way. He had 3 JL 12" subs in his trunk, a speaker in each door, 2 mids in the center, a Power Pump, a huge amp for his subs, another small Kenwood amp for his mids, CD player, and a bass cube. I admit, the bass cube thing was AWESOME. He'd pull on this little switch on this small cube, and the bass would amplify about 5x as much. He entered a contest and got 2nd place for most bass in all of Alberta.

His roof was rattling so much in the comp. that it started cracking. All in a K-car souped to the nuts with nice rims, nice inner, tinted windows...oh yeah, he was right into it man. It was fun to watch, but he only did it for a few years, spent about $2200 on stuff, and ended up selling it all for about $500 in the end. He got his money's worth though.

So much bass man. In a truck, 1 12" sub is more than enough. Get an amp and a mid. speaker in each door, and it will sound plenty good.
