My setup sounds awesome.

I have a Honda Prelude (Small car, but unfortunately not a hatchback, hatchbacks usually have better sounding bass).

I run a Kenwood in dash CD to 4 Cerwin-Vega 2ways w/ the aluminum cone and all that, they sound badass.

I have a 600 w amp powering 2 10" Kenwood tornadoes in a sealed box, and for the size of the car, its plenty of bass. For a smaller vehicle as mine, I would recommend 10's over 12s, not just for space reasons but for response. The 10's can be overwhelmingly loud if I want them to be.

Yeah, those tornadoes are pretty good for how much they cost. I have a pair of 12" tornadoes for sell, brand new in packaging, if anyone's interested 35$ +s.h. for the pair.
But I will say that there are quite a few 12's out there that respond much better than the kenwood 10's, but on the other hand typically cost more...my point is you can't really just say 10's or 12's there are other things that come into play...spider material, cone material, spider width, surround width, and more but you get the point...
Your best bet is to bring one of your own cds into a store and play the same song over and over on different speakers, then get what sounds best to you. Impossible to go wrong like that.

$35 for the pair?
You've got to be kidding me.
How much would shipping be to Indiana... if it's not too much, I'll gladly take them off your hands.
