Alright, so the sub finally arrived on Saturday the 19th. I have a sound stream amp with 3000 RMS that will be powering it, my wires should be here tomorrow. I have a Shuriken 140 battery going in the trunk and I'll have an Odyssey up front. Next step is building the box. I'm thinking of going for about 4.5-5 cubes firing toward the cabin and sealed off from the trunk. For this, should I fire both the sub and port forward? Or have one firing up?

15" D2 I'm thinking 5 cubes should do.

After hours of research, I pulled the trigger on an Fi SP4. It was really a toss up between that and the ZCON. For now, I'm going to feed it 1000w via my CV Stroker amp, until I can get a better alternator. No one makes H/O alts for the 3.6 LLT yet. Once the electrical is in place I'll put in a Crescendo amp. Now I'm sure I could use some help with a box.

Is my trunk space sufficient for an 18"?

Awesome, a ZCON it is then. Now I just need an amp and a box to go with it. I see it says build time of 21+ days. Does that mean around 21 days or just any possible length of time longer than 21 days?

I live in Hammond, it's about as close to Chicago as you can be while not yet being in Illinois. Thanks, my last setup was just a ported box I bought from Best Buy, I definitely want to do something higher quality this time, and yes I will be investing in a new amp/sub(s). Good to know that there are others here with Impalas, and if there's anything I've noticed in the 15 minutes I've been on here, it looks like most of the members are pretty helpful!

First, a little history, it's been about 2 years now that I haven't had subs, I traded in my Chevy Blazer for a leased Cruze, so I didn't put my subs in it, I let my friend use them. Now I no longer have the Cruze, I now own an Impala. The set up I ran in my Blazer was 2 Cerwin Vega S.1000 amps strapped together powering 2 Pioneer Premier Championship Series 12s at 1000wrms a piece. I loved it, they hit harder than anyone elses set up that I knew and they sounded really nice. One of the amps ended up blowing, so I only have one of them now, and the subs are stuck in my buddy's trunk. Now I know 2 Pioneer 12s doesn't sound like it'd be the greatest system in the world, so I figured I'd come here and try something better. So the reason I'm here, I have an empty trunk and I need suggestions for a new system. I want to replace the factory battery with a Odyssey, I have a new head unit, I have the 1/0ga wire, I have not done the big 3 yet, but will. I have a 2012 Impala so I have a decent amount of trunk space to work with. I suppose I'll want something in the 2000-2500wrms range with some decent sound quality at least, while hopefully being about as loud or louder than my last setup, if not just much better sounding. Looks like a ZCON is a possibility. Could anyone comment on quality or even against say 2 ICONs? Is there a certain amp/sub combo I should try, enclosure type? Being out of the game I've done very little keeping up on anything, so I can use all the help I can get. Thanks.
