first one will be this

Sytem #2
1x15 inch car sub with box powered by a rockford fosgate 600 watt amp. and a stock head unit w/ line converter and stock speakers w/ poineer 6x9's installed in the back doors.

the 15 will probabbly stay flatter going lower whereas the 10's wil be more punchy with a sharper rolloff at the lowend. db wise will probably be about the same.

I'd also STRONGLY recommend getting some solid front-stage components and amplification to pull your soundstage and imaging up front - where it belongs! A loud clean system is fantastic, but one with a good soundstage is pure heaven...

I am in my 10" phase of my life (Well, 10"s in my Truck, 10"s in the Home Stereo, but 18"s in the PA Mwwhuaahuwaaa!!!) - so I'd say go for the 10"s

i still think 12's are a perfect balance. Got 2 of them in my trunk, and they still are plenty punchy, but can hit the lows that the 10's cant.

^^
That would depend on the 10"s

. Four Punch HE-2's on a BD1500.1 (1500Watts RMS) will hit 20Hz pretty good

that's true, but you can get away with spending less if you go the 12' route. Still really a matter of preferance.

Remeber guys I will be giging this summer & I will need my trunk space. And my subs ARE really really old like mybe 1990-ish 1995-ish. so what else can you guys suggest?

are you looking for a reason to spend more money? lol
i say use the subs you have
and upgrade the front speakers, not the rear.

why do u care what people in the back seat will hear :-p
