lol der, i just bought a 15 lvl4 with lvl5 coils, can easily handle 2k+, get 2 12's and throw 1k on each should be good

Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k!

Why would you EVER WANT flex?
huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

Its a chevy cobalt man. lets be realistic here, unless he walls it, 2 18s in that car is impractical.

hes the one that said he had 13 cubes, im just going off of what he said. But realistically 2 15s would be awesome in the trunk :)

ohh yea i forget i need to relocate the spare tire from the wheel well so i can have some extra space but there is a good thing that the battery is in the back in the truck. But i think 12s would be better though

I think if your are looking for SQ go with the level 4's with level 5 soft parts. You will be happy, and you will have headroom for a bigger amp in the future. :drinks:
