I have a rockford fosgate 800a2... And was using 4x 10" mtx roadthunder and connected seris parralel... Sounded great in my astro van... But my van broke down.... And I got a new car... A scion xb... I installed the amp and speakers... 2 underneath driver and passenger seat and 2 in the back....
Question is... I just want to upgrade my subs... I want 2 10" under the seats... And 2 12" in the back... Any recommeneded subs
Another question... How would I connect the 2 10" sub and 2 12" sub with my amp... Would it be seris parallel on 1 10" and 1 12" together on each channel... Or seris parallel on 2 10" and and seris parallel on 2 12" seperate channel... Thanks in advance....
Sorry if its long and kind of confusing....

Stick with the same size subs and keep them all in the back.

^^^^^ Exactly, find yourself how much room you have available for a box, once this is done, then you can narrow down the sub search to 2 12" 4 ohm dvc subs wired in series / parallel to 4 ohm mono for max output of your amp. Two 12" in the proper custom box will slaughter 4 subs in the incorrect box.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

The 2 10" HE2's will put out some good thump. Better watch out though, that 800.2 will put a good beating on your electrical system when you atart banging on it. Why not consider a good Class D mono Block?
