dsmbasshead Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) So my buddy wants to install some lows in his 2002 Celica GT. Since im considered the audio guru in our friend group, he came to me. He wants 2 10s and based on what he said he wants from his bass, 500-600 rms in a sealed box should be perfect, especially with his low budget. After doing some searching, I came up with this. 2 Alpine Type E SWE-1043 SVC 4 ohms(250 rms), a SoundStorm(SSL) EV.2.1600 2 Channel amp(300x2 rms at 4 ohms) and the Sonic Sub Box: 2SL10-1.5 (Gray Carpet) Dual 10" Sealed MDF Enclosure(1.5 cubes) which would come out to $306.83 shipped from sonic electronix. What do you guys think? Im not realling looking for suggestions on subs since he wants 2 10s around that price range so basically what im asking for is will this setup work decently?

dsmbasshead Posted October 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Why use a sealed box? because he wants more punchy, clear bass that hits at a wide range instead of a lower, more frequency specific ported box.
