[QUOTE="xblitzkriegx, post: 16291268, member: 105608"] sub power handling is really two different factors. for deep bass, its more about excursion, ie mechanical limits. for bass above 50hz or so, thermal limits come in to play. as long as you dont go wildly over the recommended rating, youre almost always going to run in to mechanical limitations before thermal. what this means for the avg person is that you need to stick to around the rated power. if it says 450w for ported. you can still go 500-600w on an amp and itll be fine. nothing is going to fry. a properly sized and tuned ported box will sound just as good as a sealed box, especially if its being crammed in a trunk or behind a seat. the group delay and other things people bring up for ported boxes really doesnt matter once you stuff it in a trunk and throw power at it. youre not going to hear most of the issues anyways, you wont even hear the distortion most times until its waaay over 50% due to how our ears work plus the interior getting in the way. two L10s sealed will sound just fine. theyll give up a tiny bit on the lower end but honestly, the transfer function on the vehicle will make up for it. honestly, itll sound fine. find an enclosure thats 1cf for each sub and throw half a pound of polyfill in it, make sure its 3/4" thick and make sure theres a good seal at the sub and call it a day. wire the subs down to a 2ohm load and then run them together for a final 1ohm load. find a reputable 1000wrms amp and have fun.
