Default Best Sub Setup???

I currently have 2 JL 10w0s as well as an audiobahn 1801T waiting to be installed. I have a set of audiobahn components in the doors and pioneer full range D-series 6.5" in place of the stock subs, both being powered by an audiobahn 4 channel amp. So all of that sound is pretty much in the higher frequency range, thanks to external crossovers, and I'm wondering what my best bet is going to be sub wise, if I get just a single stealthbox from subthump, will that provide enough bass? I don't really listen to music that's all that bass heavy, I'm really just lookin for enough bass to bring out the bass guitar and whatnot. Would a full t-top well enclosure from subthump be a better idea? Cuz they make the enclosures that store the t-tops, and they can do ported setups for dual 10" subs. and there's always pulling my spare tire and hunting down a passenger side stealthbox... what do you guys think???

You have two 10s now and want to go down to a single 10 for more bass?

haha bad wording on my part. no they're waiting to be installed, i haven't put them in yet, i have them from my old car, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to install them in my Formula.

I have a box that fills the T-Top space that I built. It was really easy and you could save a lot of money. Back on topic I think this is the best way to go. You can still easily get to your spare tire, your t-tops can always be placed in a bag and held safely elsewhere and you have more potential for air space if you have subs requirind more air space. Plus I like the look of it.

I tried to add pics of my setup for ideas but I dont know that it worked. Anyways good luck with whichever you choose. Neither will sound bad.

2 600.1 for subs DVC

1 500.2 for 2 components sets

1 350.4 for midbass 6.5's (2 channels unused --> looking for nice tweeters)

I dont get why you did it the hard way instead of opting for either a zx1000.1 or zx1500.1 or sx1250.1 for the subs and a 850.4 for the components and midbass.

I bought 1 600.1 and a 350.4 for my first setup. I wanted to upgrade and bought 2 pairs of ss65.2's which needed more power than the 350.4 so i bought the 550.2. I got more powerful subs and didnt want to put more money into a 1200.1 and just get rid of my 600.1 so I bought another 600.1 and took advantage of the Dual Voice Coils.

But anyways, there is a guy looking for some suggestions on subwoofer setups.

Looks good. I don't know if I'd say "extremely hard", but I bet it is decent
