Hey guys, I have been into car audio for about 5 years now and I believe I am fully ready to to do what I would consider a high end setup. I currently have a 2002 Hyundai XG350L with my 2 mtx 4500's, alpine amp, and rockford fosgate p1 components and 2 ways in the rear deck, with a P300.2 powering them. I am getting ready to move into my parents new house within the next month and will have a full size garage to work in. This will give me the place to let my mind expand and come up with ideas. I have been looking around at some new subs, I Have a couple of ideas in mind but am open to any suggestions as I havn't heard any system bigger then 2 cvx's on a JL 1000. I am going to be doing the system in peices due to being a broke college kid and having to work my way from nothing starting in may. I know that the first bit of info I should give you is what I have for equipment and what I have for space. The trunk in my car is fairly big IMO. But the max dimensions that I am looking for are 38"w,17.5", 22" deep(max). The kicker is I want to seal the box from the trunk and have the port firing through my rear seat armrest console. I would have to to some mods too it (cut the port hole out of the seat) but I am very handy with shop tools and have confidence in myself. I essentially want to take the 5 seater and turn it into a 4 with the center arm rest permanently mounted. This would require having the port extended outside of the box to get to the port hole in the seat. I have come up with some sketches in google sketchup but am not sure if they are one hundred percent. I am asking for advise on sub's to fill the gap, I want good sound quality with the ability to hit the low notes. I was originally thinking 2 AA havoc 12's. The box with those dimensions would yield 4.9 cubic feet after displacement, including 4 1" dowels for bracing, which would be right at the top end of what AA recommends for enclosure size. I have read many positive reviews about these subs and think that they seem to be what I'm looking for. They have the sq and the spl which makes for a all around sub in my opinion. I was thinking of getting either a sundown SAZ2500 or 2 SAZ1200's depending on the pricing at the time of buying. I am willing to do a HO alt if needed but I want to first see what my car can take. Big 3 has been done already in 4ga. but I plan on redoing it in 0ga. I am gonna get at least one big battery in the engine bay, was looking at the XS d3100. If I need a second one after that I will go down that road but like I said I want to see what my vehicle can take, so a voltmeter will be needed. I have also been looking to upgrade my front end which is where I want to go active. I have a couple of amps that I can use to start and will need another one. I have a rockford fosgate p300.2 and a RF p250.2. Both of these are solid amps, they have been put through the paces and never let me down. I was thinking of using the p300.2 for midbass(SA 8"neo's when they come out). For midrange I was looking at these: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-889, I can run them off my P250.2. The tweeters and amp are still up in the air, I am open to suggestions. I was looking at the Audiocontrol DQSX, I would run as the description says, i would just daisy chain the audio from the midrange amp to the tweet amp, which I believe would work. I also have an Alpine CDA-105, and I plan on doing sound deadening throughout most of the car(cabin floor, doors) I guess what I am looking for is if I missed anything important. I am open to any criticism (good or bad), just let me know what you think of this plan. thanks. I also cant figure out how to upload the box design picture, any help with that would be great.
