Would two 10" W6's be overkill?
I mostly listen to classic rock, and techno. I occasionally listen to rap, but I don't want to build my system around ridiculous amounts of bass. I was between getting 1 10" w6 or two. Will two w6's be uncomfortably loud, or would they sound nice. I like to be able to turn the bass way up sometimes, but I don't always want to have it pounding. Do you guys think that this would be a good set up me?

We can't answer your question without knowing what your front stage is/will be. It's like asking if a pair of patent leather shoes is too dressy without knowing what clothes you are wearing.

I plan on having the Focal 165k2p's in the front with speaker pods, no rear speakers, and a JL 300/2 amp running the speakers. And mw9 I live right outside of downtown.

One FI Q is all you need for your bass needs....

get two. you can always turn your amp gain down or cut your low freq down on the deck or eq. one day, when you want more, you'll then be building/buying a new box to accomodate your second 10 if you go solo now.

I have two IDMAX12's in my Z. It's WAY overkill for most people (and underkill for some. ). It's perfect for me.
Initially, I had one 10" DLS IR10. It was very clean and would make most people happy. I wanted more bottom end. A different 10" probably would have provided that, but my new design requirements called for two subs.

I guess I'll probably just stick with one for now. I have not bought the w6 already, but the FI Q sounds like it might be too much bass for me when I have read reviews about it.
