Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born.

I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

I'm assuming you don't want to wire under 1 ohm right?

Course I would say get the single 4 ohm JBL's I posted, puts a 1.333 ohm load,definitely within budget, good company, and fits well within power range. The 15 mm xmax is pretty nice too. Would have actually saved up for the 15's if I wasn't gonna run IVX's, though of course, hope you find the efficient woofers you're looking for.

You are going to need just about any coil that will handle 1000w, which with 3 woofers won't be hard. 2inch to 2.5 inch coil is fine. The most effecient loud woofer I used to install hundreds of when i installed was kicker cvr or comp and Memphis PR. Also JL w1.

Just my 2 cents, most of the non main stream names are for big power IMO and competing so it would probably be best for you to go with a popular public known name brand line because they are all just about built with efficiency in mind to max out sales.

Memphis PR was my first thought. They can get down on VERY little power. Probably one of our most popular sellers in lower wattage situations for that very reason.

I used to love my PR on 220 watts...did just fine in my accord.

OP, did you look into DD? I've had my eye on a lower power setup using their 500 series.

90% of this is going to be the box you put them in, no matter what the sub is. A larger box is going to be more efficient at lower octaves. I've always had good luck with infinity's reference 12 in a 2.5 cuft box on about 200 watts. If you have 1000, you can get 1 sundown or DD 15 and put 1k to it in 4.5 cu ft and that bad boy will get downnnnnn
