friend of mine is wanting to get two RE 8"s in his Mustang, he wants a good SQ system. should he go ported or sealed? also what amp would you guys recommend? he is looking at a JBL amp or 2, but suggestions are welcome. he will also be getting some MB Quart Reference series components and a JBL 80x4 amp. think this will be a pretty good set up?

sure. should sound nice.
not a tremendous amount of bass, and not really deep, but it'll be tight.

RE's would be good in his car, IF youre on a budget, for a little more you can step it up to an se or sx, they would be louder , go lower, and hit harder than the RE's. but there great for the price non the less(i think around 60$?)and the mb quarts sound great, expensive but great, personaly i would spend less on something equally good or get a real GOOD deal on them.

Honestly, a pair of ported RE8s should provide a fairly reasonable amount of output for an SQ oriented system. People forget that balanced sound reproduction doesn't really require a great deal of displacement, since the limiting factor is nearly always the components or coaxials being used, and not the subwoofers...
