Thinking I want to scale down my system from 2 12's (in a huge box) to just a single 10" in powered enclosure. Found a good deal on a HiFonics setup but I dont know much about the brand. Can anyone lay some knowledge down? Thanks.

Anytime you start talking about a 10" or larger sub for

I have HiFonics in the Genesis. Just a small 10" sub with a 300 watt amp. It wont win any sound competitions or blow the windows out, but it sounds great inside the car and that's all I care about.

You can blow a high end sub with a low power amp. Distortion kills subs and speakers. I've always "over powered" my subs and speakers and have never blown one. The only set of speakers I blew was when I was 16 and didn't know better and underpowered the speakers and maxed the amp out. If your sub is rated at 300, get a 400 or 500 rms amp to push them. The idea is you balance the gains and don't max them out, reducing the amps chance of distorting the signal.

I would put them in the same bucket as Boss, MTX, JVC, and Sony (the lower end stuff).
