[QUOTE="boho2bizon, post: 8842590, member: 688929"] It's labeled as Rear/Subwoofer on the specs says its switchable and supports 2-way and 3-way x'over but I'm not entirely sure what does that mean. .8-.9 cu ft is the interior size before the sub. I want a sealed box because it's easier to DIY imo and requires less maths and knowledge that I'm not sure I have. I was browsing local websites that sell audio stuff and found 10" Hertz sub that is 300W RMS and is around 100$ which i thought is enough for me, my car and my wallet and also I was thinking 2 of them so overall 600W RMS. Also this car is my daily driver and it's not that I want just a little bump, I want to feel it hit but I'm not sure how much I want it to hit. I don't think I've spend enough time in a car with a sub system to know what I want. And I definitely don't want to upgrade neither the alternator nor battery. Is it okay to shop second hand stuff like this. I'm comfortable with buying an amp second hand as in my opinion is the more long lasting part of the system and it definitely doesn't have that much movement. But the subs I think are trickier to get used mostly because I need two identical speakers(i think) and also they are easier to damage in shipping or in removing them from the previous system and also if it's an older sub where do I get the specs sheet for it and how do I find out how much volume it needs from the enclosure.
