Default JL 12w3v2 or Polk mm2124DVC

I listen to a lot of electronic music (House, trance, hardcore, jungle, etc), as well as hiphop and metal, etc. A wide range of music.

Whic would serve my needs best: base depth - for the LOW base stuff, and quick hitting for my 200+bpm stuff.

maybe a 12" 10/8" combo?

JL!!!!they're amazing subs!!! in a sealed box with 300-400 watts on it it will slam hard or stay quiet and tight...as long as you have subwoofer control you'll be good....

i love JL stuff so i would honestly go with them. i think a couple tens would suit you well in terms of size. 12s can sound muddy sometimes and not as quick compared to 10s in most cases. then again im not audio expert, just going by sounds. i love 2 10s over 2 12s because the punch and tight hitting always seems to be there with 10s.

with JL's, and the correct install, you can get tight bass with 15's.... (I have a single 15w3 in a sealed box in my tC right now) if you try to make the bass loud, of course it's going to get muddy....but if you keep it balanced correctly you'll get great sound out of almost all JL subs.....

I was thinking, due to the limited size of the tC's trunk:

1 12w3v2 in the right well of trunk

(possibly) 1 10w3v2 in the left well

Gotta be relatively functional for a daily driver

don't mix sub sizes or fire the toward eachother....you'll have cancellation issues.....just get the single 12, best combination of deep bass and tight bass....
