I am planning on getting two subs for my trunk. I don't want something that just makes a loud boom i want something that is crisp sounding and i don't need it to be ridiculously loud. i am willing to spend up to 175 on each one....any suggestions?... also does anyone know how much a custom fiberglass job would cost?

 

You can't go wrong with either JL Audio or Alpine R Series, You might get away with 1 so you will still have a trunk! I have 1 10" MB Quart and while not overly loud the SQ is awesome.

 

go with a sealed enclsure to, its no were near as boomy as a vented box

 

No bro, go with 2 memphis hpo 12's and a ported box. Dynamat the trunk and the door seals. It will sound beautiful.

 

Definalty do the sound deadening, with all speaker locations. 10's if you really just want to add clean tight bass, ported or sealed doesn't really matter in our cars. Well it does but not with your application. Alpine is always safe to go with, Memphis has good solid product, MTX is great stuff too.

 

I'd go with a sealed enclosure too.

Fiberglass jobs are expensive and depends on the size, countour, detail and finish that you want to go with. Of course you could always venture out and try it yourself but be prepared to have a few failures before you get the right one.

 

For the best sound he should go with a ported/vented box...

 

what kind of music is your preference first. second do you want punch or carry out of your bass.

 

I bet he wants just a loud spl since he wants it to be smooth

 

Get a pair of Kenwood 10" db+. Frickin incredible sound, and I agree with the other guys, sound deadening is a must have. You don't really need a fibre glass job unless you are going to be showing it off, but don't go with a ported box, sealed is way tighter.
