But what subs should I look at? Ill be running 2 Mmats 2000.1d's . Supposedly rated at 2000@1ohm rms. I know the slightly older d2000.1s were rated at 1500. I dunno.

Its a 1995 z28 . My son wants to do an spl car next year. I have no issues losing my cargo area or back seat.

Budget for subs? Budget for electrical upgrades ie. Batts, alternator, wire etc?

Budget?

It depends really. Ill probably snag something used. I was looking at DC XL 18s but after reading around I'm not sure Id have the power so I'm kind of looking at some AQ hd3c's. I looked at sundowns but I don't think an sa18 could take 2k daily. I like SSA products but there's no way Im gonna drop that kind of money for a set of Zcons and the xcon is really not exactly what Im looking for, an spl sub.

There are just so many feakin options.

Take your pic of any driver(s) on the market.

Id rather find a good match for my amps than blindly grabbing something randomly and either overpowering or barely pushing some subs.

The budget for electrical is irrelevant. This build has no time limit. The alternator gets purchased next month. Im hoping to find matching power wire somewhere before Im finished with the install. I really like the stinger expert. If nothing presents itself Ill probably switch over to excelene. We have planned for a starter battery and 2 in the hatch. They will probably be optima YT. I can get a screaming price on them.

Liek i said. The subs will likely be used. Reconing is not an issue.

I have my tsns on 2k and gets loud. So 4 would be more intense

something like a pair of fi bl's with options, or btl's. \

could save some cash on wire and get welding wire, weldingsupply.com

lol. i thought you were saving weight? should have bought my nightshades. good luck bro!

how far do you want to go? i have a few ideas depending

Yeah. I kick myself in the ass daily for not getting the nightshades when I had the cash. We got rid of the 3500 , decided we wanted to do something loud and bought the 2 2000's. We pretty much decided wed do what we could this year. We talked about wight and passengers then we decided to give up the back seat for a year. I know this is kind of far fetched......I have no idea if we'll have the power..... I wanna do a 150

Had a bathroom break that cost a ton and its slowing us down but Im almost done with the repairs.

if you want to keep the back seats you could do something like this.

this was the first idea for mine with 2 10s on 3k. this box would sin on the hump behind the seats.

Im trying to visualize how your saying this fits. Like on the rear deck, behind the seats but leaving the ttop hole exposed and subs firing forward?

yes. it sits right behind the rear seats and in front of the t top pocket.

amps just got here. Identical models different colors. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet. They were sold as a pair and my understanding as per our phone conversation led me to believe they matched.

That's weird, lol what colors?

Also, a pair of BL's on 2k would be loud! Good luck.

How much airspace were able to get with a box like that? I know I can get 3.5 behind the rear divider.

This box I had designed at 3.0 cubes net after all displacements. You could make it bigger or smaller. I

nah. Im done thinking about amps right now. I called Mmats and I can at least get a top plate that matches. I'm pretty sure 4kw is okay for what I wanna do.
