Keep old subs or buy new?
Hello, I don't know too much about car audio but I do know that I wouldn't mind some extra bump in my trunk.
I used to have a Mustang convertable, and I used to have this box in the trunk: http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/S...d/0/rid/123284 with a 500 Watt RMS MTX amp. I still have the box and the amp, but the box looks stupid in the trunk of the Z. I currently have D3 headunit, with non-bose sound system.
I wanted to get one of these two boxes:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ksid=p3907.m29
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/350z-...m380023849039&
Now here are my questions:
1. Are the subs any good?
2. Can I use the subs with either of the boxes shown above?
3. I would rather go with 1 10" look, cleaner and give me a little more room in trunk, plus I'm not looking for THAT much bass just a little more. Will my sub sound like crap in the single box?
4. So bottom line will what I have work with either of the boxes, or should I sell the box/subs and get a new sub?

So are the 10W3v3 even good subs?

I Had A Single 12w3 In My Old Volvo And It Sounded Great.
Zenclosures Has A New Single 10" Box That Will Fit A 10w7, Which I Just Bought, But Havnt Installed Yet. But A 10w3 Running With 500w Should Sound Good.

And you tell the OP to buy a new sub, but don't offer any input as to what sub should be purchased, nor do you provide supporting facts/specs as to WHY a new sub should be purchased.

Finally got around to getting the Z-Enclose Box, it came in today. Great Quality, fast shipping and amazing packaging. So far I'm impressed. I get the amp installed Wed. I've done installs before but on shitty old car I didn't care about, this one I'm gona leave to the pros.
