Yes I do want to play with the idea of 2 18 inch subs in the trunk...and yes I am a bass head! Mostly for shock value. I will have 5.25-6.25 +tweeter's in the front, 3's in the front dash, and plan on doing 6x9's in 4x10 slots (I guess). I bought a pre fab 2 18 box from a local store and it is made out of very dense MDF wood. Please excuse if I don't have the dimensions on hand. But each space will give about 5-6.0 cubic ft. of air space. The box is slanted back so the height is 16 inches...the width is @ 40 inches...and I'll have the other dimensions later.
But really...the box is too tall: the back of the trunk catches the top of the box and if the box is tilted back a smidge...the whole trunk lid catches the box lol. So I'll just put the current box in my suv and build another from scratch.
But now that I see 2 18's will fit in my trunk (with slight modification to the box and I can keep the factory spare), what are a few good amplifiers to use for the subs? I may use either Fi, RE, or Ma Audio (for low cost and experimental purposes).
I see amps now (Crossfire, U.S. Amps, Crescendo (which I still may try and buy; very good and versatile amplifier), etc.) say 1500, 2000, 3000 watts but do they reeeaaalllyyy give good performance?? Are they still as good as old school Autotek 333's, Punch 1000's (yes the chrome one's with the fan in the middle), Zapco's, Zues's, etc???
I just want a really good amplifier and a few other eq components for excellant seperation and dimension. I know the subs will be loud and very quad worthy. But I want to be able to turn them down when I want and just have a nice surround sound when playin Jill Scott, Eightball & MJG (Ridin High album Whatchagonnado, 30 Rocks orgasmic for subs!!!!, Hickory Dickory Dock), Avril Levinge, Jazzy Jeff, Jay, Ne-Yo, Brother's Johnson, Stevie, and just a plethera of superb artist!!! I may even do horns when I reach a level of blood I want to part with.
Thanks for the help...and don't worry...this is just an experiment. I will probably add three 12's in a trapezoid box or one of those shelf boxes everyone else has on here.
