out of the ones you put, opt. #4 is the best. However, if you wanna sound better and bang harder than any of those, check these out. I've worked in the car audio field for many many years and trust me, these will tear the roof off this muthaf*&^%a!

All you need is one of these in a proper sized ported box and some ear plugs for passengers.

i think he means bad as in good lol. i have a w3 in my daily driver and my mom said she could hear me coming from 2 miles away.

in all honestly, i dont know if your into performance, but i assure you that 1 w3 sounds mighty fine.


not that cell phones can transfer bass noise but, i can take a video and throw it up on youtube if you want to see a w3 in action.

I never said girls can't drive nice cars, also that question wasn't directed towards you. So you can keep your retarded answer and shove it up your ass.

dude. go with the kickers. they put out much more than the specs actually says. I have one 10 inch kicker CV-R and its not bad at all. with 2, you'll be bumping.

dont buy new though. check your local craigslist ad. some good deals on there.
