1st off... congrats. on all of the hard work you all have put into your cars! I know how hard it is do custom fit and fiberglass things in a confined space. you all did fine jobs. thumbs up^^^
2nd off... anyone willing to do the research and put the time and money into trying to pound the neighbors into early hearing aides TAKE NOTE. I have seen some of the best set-ups in the area with some of the cheapest subs available!
Most of your sound comes from the box.
The next most improtant part is your head unit. if matched, equalized and syncronized it can almost add a third of the sound to your system for the least amount of money (in most cases).
Then come the amp. The only real restriction you have on how big you go is minimum capacity of power. The rest can be tuned to fit your setup so do whatever you want, but please have it profesionally tuned if you don't know how.
Lastly is the sub(s) themselves. The subwoofer is the work horse, but they will only do what they are made to do!
some subs are specially designed to be most eficient in small spaces, some need high cubic feet of air to move, some should only be run on proted boxes, some vented, some sealed only.
Decide how much sound you want to have and plan to make it by matching the subwoofer specs with the proper box. Buy an amp that makes enough (or more) power to feed the sub(s) with enough RMS. Make sure you can tune your head unit to match or buy an equalizer. Then tune. AND FOR GOD SAKE...don't try to tune your new system if you don't know how.... you will make the wrong mistake and overpower your sub(s), but you will only have the chance to do this once!!!!!!! There is no going back once you have a fire in your trunk.
p.s. please use a cap. or the proper yellow or red top/ alternator. and if you are going BIG get a volt meter.
