2 cents from a guy that once had 2x12" and 2000w and now as acouphenes...

you bring up a good point. My suggestion for two 12"s was due to the fact that the trunk is totally sealed off from the cabin of the car. and the dual 10's weren't an option. I'd probably still recommend two 12's for the added headroom. I think that subs are very over rated (well the time choosing a sub... it's only taking care of a small portion of the audio spectrum) and i'm glad that he has spent the majority of his time figuring out mids/highs
