Sir-Lancelot

I would say listen to a few sets and go from there. I have been through few sets of comps recently and have realized that I just do not like metal dome tweeters no matter how much they cost. The metal dome tweeters I have owned all sound harsh as hell when you turn them up and ruin it for me. I believe my next set to try will be some Image Dynamics or possibly going active.

The paint looks very nice. I have thought about taking the carpet off my box and painting mine like you did. Good job, now hurry up and get a pic with the box in the truck.

The one that fits in your car with a proper size box.

some american pros they are 500 watts I'm sorry.

The kenwood excelon kdc-x 493 is less than $150.00 and it's a pretty nice HU. Skip the BTL, your budget wont allow it. Now you have $1450 to spend. SSA store combo deal 15" Icon/1000D Sundown $580. Nice component speakers $300 Sundown 50.4 is on sale $200 You now have money left over to buy RCA's, wire, etc.

much, better use. of punctuation i am impressed?

Just bridge your Boston amp to the front. My 4ch is bridged and I have 225w going to 125w rated comps and they love it.

Fuggin tease you are.

Be safe over there, and thank you!!!

I only have 2 RF 1000bd's putting 1000w on each 15 right now and it gets loud. (Sundown 3500D soon. ) Yes Sir. People that tell you that are haters and do not have room for 18's. LOL.

Love them!! Very tight bass, not sloppy or boomy one bit. CheVelle and Godsmack never sounded so good, lov'n that fast kick drum to my gut. Seriously, they have exceeded all my expectations.

No difference. With the right box and tuning 18's will sound as good as 8's, the 8's just wont move as much air. I went with 15" xcons for some of the same reasons you listed. I do not hate on any tunes and listen to almost everthing. Mostly metal/rock, tho. I was very surprised they keep up and never get boomy. Tight as hell for such a big woofer.

That should be perfect and I doubt you would ever play anything below that.

Depends on where you tune your box and what you consider low notes.

Subs up port back would be louder, IMO.

LOL! X 2.

Sure it will. I a 1000 watt amp on each of my 15" xcons and it bumps pretty good. Loud enough to make my rear air controll fall off my headliner Save up for a 2000 or keep your 1000 you won't notice 500 watts hardly

Sub up port back should be louder.

X's 2. I would want to hear the motor. Nice ride BTW.

You wont even notice a difference between 1200w & 1500w.

Charge him double for offering to trade a Jensen.

I have the same problem. Been thinking about a 3 way with solid mid bass drivers. Curious to what is suggested for you.

I would, and I am an adult with working equipment to trade. LOL and edit to add that just sounded wrong.
