More details, what exactly are you looking for? Just a little fill in the lowest octave or are you looking to be heard around the block? Future plans for the system? Sound quality, Spl, or both?
My personal preference is infinite baffle with a pair of 15s. You get to keep most of your trunk space because there is no box. It will sound tight and punchy and get very low with authority and require little power. Most IB subs are pretty cheap.
Large subs in general are better in nearly every way whether its sq or spl that you're after.
I prefer an efficient sub in an efficient enclosure, one that will get as loud on 500w as another will on 1500w. Doing this avoids all of the bad things that come with lots of power including not having to upgrade your charging system.
With that said, there are many awesome systems and build logs with pictures around here. Search around here for some specific ideas and brands. I prefer JL Audio, Dynaudio, and Acoustic Elegance but I'm a little biased.

vs my current setup?
More efficient, yes...but not by much, since the sub is 91db @ 1w
louder? not even close, lol.
Would love to shave weight, though.
But if op is up for IB, 2 dcon 15s would work

Is it ported? I thought the 15" version was 89db 1w, 1m or do you have the 18?

You're not running out of xmax
You don't want it louder..or do u?
If so, you'll gain like 5-6db
Not worth it imo

I would much prefer the twin 15's over tryin to tilt an 18 in there and then having to deal with trying to keep that package shelf quieted down. The single 15 so far is totally fine with me. I am tryin to keep the illness at bay!

Do keep the illness at bay. Perhaps the quality of our imported Chinese products will start to improve and our quality of living will, in time, will go back to where it used to be and should be based on the tremendous wealth that has been created by occupying this land, drilling into the earth, selling the hydrocarbons, destroying the earth, for profit (greed).

Did not mean offense. Typical response though: Marginalize the one clarifying the facts when it upsets the conscience of those who stand to benefit by said greed.

My bike was stolen by the way. Funny, I just found that out two days ago.
Also the Tl is a great carin every way that I can tell. Very good emissions as long as you leave the catalytic converters in place and functioning properly.

I'll play until the mods step in.
What "facts" are you clarifying? Would you feel better knowing the oil is just sitting in the ground not being pumped? How is drilling destroying the earth?
We know that oil is not made from Dinosaurs and it does not take millions or even thousands of years to produce naturally. It can take days under the right conditions and it's mostly made from plant life.
Have you ever seen the environmental requirements for drilling? Most of these areas are left in better condition than before they were drilled. Before anything is started it requires a year long survey of the land, namely wildlife. If so much as a family of foxes moves in, in that year, a million dollar operation is put on hold or moved to a different location. If a rack of tubing is left open ended and an endangered mouse moves in, it can't be moved, operations cease until it moves out on it's own.
Cars these days produce nearly zero hydrocarbon emissions. In fact, my TL when it was new registered zero Hc when I got it smogged for other reasons. They're just about to the point of filtering the air.
In fact, the only cars that produce any amount of emissions to be concerned about are the electric cars that are charged from coal burning power plants and the toxic battery waste that will eventually become a problem.
Around here and in many parts of the country, the oil industry supports a huge number of jobs. At my company an entry level position with only a GED required starts at $70k a year and that's not a manual labor job, that's a very easy job in which I was bored most of the time years ago when I started. While the rest of the economy is crap, we just hired 48 support personnel in IM&T and will have over 200 positions opening up over the next year just in this city. Most of these positions pay between 70k-200k a year. That's not counting the hundreds of contractors we employ and we're just one of several oil companies out here.
Is it greed that an oil company is helping out the economy among other things and giving people good paying jobs that would otherwise be on unemployment or breaking their backs for minimum wage? If you want to get to the source of greed, start with the government. You would not believe the fines for a small burp to atmosphere or a few drops of oil on the ground. If we chop down weeds around equipment we have to give up that same area of land to the government. You heard it right we have to give up our land to the government for chopping down weeds. Their goal is to own all oil rights. We have a group whose only jobs are to fight the insane government regulations that are constantly trying to put us out of business. An entire legal team designed to keep us in business from the government constantly trying to steal from us. Greed lies with the government, not the oil companies. They don't even realize they depend on us, instead they have their hand out demanding most of the profit.
What is your proposed alternative? Do you realize what you would be giving up by eliminating oil production? Hint: Pretty much every product you use on a daily basis.
The way I look at it is environmentalist weirdos will always complain. When I worked for Enron wind division, the big thing was birds. All of a sudden we cared about birds that would occasionally get killed from flying into the blades. It was just what they wanted, "free" energy but all of a sudden it was bad because a few birds got killed. Screw the humans, protect the birds lol.

Matt, what do you do for an oil company? I didn't know you had an affiliation with oil/gas industry. Thought I was alone on that one here.
Stevemk07- don't tell me you're one of the people who thinking frac'ing is causing groundwater contamination everywhere...

I've seen the whole fracing causing ground water contamination theories. We don't do a lot of that where I'm at, we're mostly Tulare heavy oil but some of our other locations in the Diatomite zone do fracing. We actually produce so much water in our operations that we would have better luck as a water company lol. There's been talk of selling water to some of the Pennsylvania companies for their fracing operations.

I started as a contractor for the company in IT with a little work with pump off controllers. Got my foot in the door as an employee as a production operator, went to measurement, and moved up and on from there. I somehow became THE POC guy for the company so no matter what my position has been I always seem to be doing something with these controllers.

Very cool! Always good to be in oil/gas (even when there is down periods). Aubrey McClendon's dumb ass out here in OKC isn't helping though

Those frac theories are the dumbest things I've seen in awhile. CNN just did one awhile back and they kept showing pump risers,so...........

Nice. So you're one of the guys our PC techs hated lol. I only delt with the network, I'm probably one of the most computer illiterate IT people around. I loved that job. I was in over my head a bit but it was never boring, the people were great, I was always learning something new and I got to spend 3 days a week in the office and 2 days a week in the field. We were always expanding so most of our equipment was brand new and cutting edge... except for the phones. They were just barely starting to upgrade everything to go VoIP. I only changed positions for job security. IT is usually the first to get cut around here. I went from IT to the oil fields, same company but a whole different world.

I get cursed out 2-3 times a week.

You raised some good points and I know something about the temperature and pressure process to convert basically anything to hydrocarbons. Let me just say that the industry has seen many improvements but have you ever heard the term corporate hitmen? Its a term to describe certain individuals that big oil companies hire to ensure any roadblocks to their interests are dealt with. I am in know way linking you to this behaviour but just wondering if you had heard the term before...
