ORIGINAL: =chris=
2 x 12's or 3 x 10's?! Jesus dude, I'm still gonna need some room in the back, lol. I'm not really going for the full over-the-top-make-my-ears-bleed sound system, heheh.
For now I'll be sticking with a single I think. I appreciate what you guys are saying tho, 2 x 12" subs would kick *** bigtime, and 3 x 10" must be unreal. Bit OTT for me tho...
So far my system comprises of...
Alpine CDA 9847r with iPod adapter
30Gb Apple Ipod Video
Infinity Reference 5 1/2" speakers up front (brand new, literally only just fitted)
Pioneer 350w 6x9s in the rear
I plan to swap the 6x9's for an Infinity set, as my Pioneer ones were bought second-hand from a mate. They've seen a lot of abuse over their life and now seem to rattle on the lower frequencies. Still not bad for £10 each tho, lol.

As far as building your box i would build it out of MDF board 5/8"-3/4" thick.
Does that about answer your question?

RE: 10" Sub or 12"? What are the differences?
Yea, basically it does.
The only Sub I have had much to do with personally is my brothers JBL setup, which comprises of a 12" Sub and a 600W Amp. It's quite funny actually because his car is a totally standard Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec, but the sound system rocks. Feels as if the doors would fall off if it went any louder....lol. I would like my setup to be a little more defined though. I hate it when I see people with all Bass and no quality to the music. Don't see the point in spending $100's on a massive Vibrator!
As for what Subs I want.....I've been looking into the Vibe Blackair series, as they seem superior quality to others in the simialr price range. I visited my local Halfords superstore the other day to see the display model, and the first thing I noticed is how tight the rubber around the cone is. It's more like a thick rubber seal! Overall it looked very well made - far better than the cheap JBL subs. Not too bad price either, only Halford's is reknowned for charging through the teeth, so I'm thinking Ebay will be the best option.
