Will this be ok for me?
I like a little bass,just enough to feel it,and was wonderin would this do it.
Im going to have a 12" sub in a sealed box down in the well firing up at the glass w/a 200w amp pushing it.Would this be ok for my needs?
Thanks

If you're just looking to fill out the bottom end, a single 12" will be more than enough. Even a single 10" system can be loud enough to make your insides vibrate if you have enough power.

my friend has a single JL in his Volvo s40, its all the way in the trunk and i can feel it just fine. so i only would assume the camaro would make it slam a little harder cuz of the natural bandpass on the rear lift gate.

I did that with two 6x9s before I got an amp!! I mounted them in the well cover,good acoustics. I think three 10"s 600 watts is good

1 12"? THat's what I have, and it's more than I need! It gets really loud (I estimate 135 db)
But, it is a Solobaric L7 (The square one) and I have about 750 watts to it.
But seriously, a basic 12" with a couple hundred clean watts to it should be just fine to liven up the bottom end a little.
I did a 91 RS a while back with 1 Kicker Comp 12", and a couple hundred watts from a Clarion amp, and it was pretty sweet. I say go for it!

I myself have a single 10" Sub in a sealed box and 150 Watts rms being pumped into it. And man, i can't imagain the bass. My radar dector on the windsheild bounces with th bass. It is amazing, especilly for a single 10"! (Firing up at the glass)
