Hello, I am going to be putting a new setup in my toyota celica. I am going for spl in this setup. budget is 1000 dollars for the amp, subs, and the box. any suggestions are greatly appreciated

this is the space i have to work with:

What do you think about removing the back seats?

I like that idea! But its not my car....

Well, I'd rather not remove the seats. Any ideas for just the trunk area?

For the amp i would go with a sundown 1500d

$335

Depending on trunk space maybe a fi bl 15 with the flatwind and cooling

$299

or

two fi SSD 12's

$388

or

15's if you can fit them

$418

That should leave you with money for your box and sound deadening, maybe another battery

I like that idea, but I was thinking about doing 2 Fi Q's Sealed with this amp

Do you think that amp would be a waste of money?

also for a sealed box, is it ok to buy a pre-fab box on ebay or somewhere? I know that is a dumb question but I was just wondering because there isn't as much involved in a sealed box as there is in a ported

That amp compared to the Sundown would indeed be a waste. Two Q's sealed will be just fine in a prefabricated box on that power.

If you are set on just purchasing a box rather than building it yourself (very easy for sealed), then make sure the one you buy is made out of 3/4" MDF and has sealed joints.

Ok just ordered the 1500d do you think I should do 2 ssd's or q's of that power?

if your going for SPL get a single bl 15 and spend the extra cash on a good ported box. you dont have to do this, ut with your goals in mind i think you will be happy.

You can do either one. If you do the Q's and decide its not loud enough for you, you can always add another 1500D.

Haha well I like how sealed sounds and I think ill go with the ssd's because of the price
