   Hi!

I'm planning a parking lot party rig build, volume needs are not at rave level of course, we want to hang out mostly near the trunk, but when possible, crank the volume up to mini-rave levels would be a nice feature.

1 For the 2x 1" I have two B&C DE250, I know they can be overkill but I'll happily pad them down if needed.

2 I was thinking on a single 15" up to 180hz, I say single cause I won't be having too much space in the trunk for such big woofers, here are the two candidates

- Fane Sovereign 15-400LF

- Fane Sovereign PRO 15-600LF (this one looks like the winner for a good subbass)

3 For the mids I was thinking about xoving them from 180hz to somewhere between 1800 and 2500hz, and this got me thinking:

2 eights or 2 tens? I think I could remove floor of the trunk if needed to make space for the extra cabinet size for the tens.

This is the 10" I had in mind, I can get it cheap 

Fane Sovereign 10-300/2

These are the 8s"
Fane Sovereign 8-225

Fane Sovereign PRO 8-225

I also appreciate less weight and lower volume cabs always proved than I can maintain a good bass.

The PRO 8-225 looks good on paper, will it sound good till 180hz? Maybe I should go with the 10"s?

Any thoughts from you guys is appreciated
