Message: [QUOTE="Blown262, post: 1254399, member: 22334"] It's been stated on this thread before, but install is more important than anything. This is an install of one 12w3v3 in a Buick and sound quality was key. You have to make sure the cabin doesn't flex. Flex is what gives you that muddy sound. The only thing I rarely deaden is the roof, and I adjust the crossovers with a slight gap between 90-110hz. The cabin resonance and slight roof flex will act as a passive radiator and make up that 20hz hole with minimal distortion. The next order of business for a proper sounding setup is a properly designed, built and tuned box. You can have a million dollar sub in a best buy off the shelf box, and it will sound like ass. You need to find a reputable box builder that can build a box to the proper dimensions for the sub based on the measured TS parameters of the sub. This will make or break the sound quality and can also bump up your total output from the sub without causing any unloading or clipping. Since you like rock music, you'll need a tighter response with a lower helmholtz tuning, which is usually a higher ratio of port volume to compression changer volume, or a sealed box (which I personally don't prefer, but that is just a preference). Car audio is a lot of fun, but is such a nightmare to do properly and usually costs a ton of money. Audiophiles are the hardest people to satisfy. [/QUOTE]
