iv decided i'd do something like this

2 adire tempest 15"
800W amp
sealed 4 cubes carpeted 3 deep x 3 wide x 16-17" tall
cdt audio CL-61A 6.5" component set (2 6.5", 2 tweet, 2 xovers) (thezeb.com)
200W x 4 component amp
alpine deck cda 9827
optima yellowtop battery
alternator 150amps (or whatever i need to pull 1000W's)
1/0 gauge wiring
elemental designs deadening


do you think i should go ported and/or bigger box?

Looks nice... That 150amp alternator should be more than good for only 1000w. I'm running about 1.8Kw and still use a stock 105 amp alternator, with a small pulley & two spiralcell batteries, one in the front, one in the back.

Ported or bigger? Depends on how loud ya wanna get... Port it for make-ya-nauseus-it's-so-loud bass...

I recently moved my H2 into a ported box out of a sealed one... Mucho louder and sounds just as good, if not better.

sounds pretty sweet for a system...but the final price tag must be pretty high. i hope you're happy with the final result cause that's a lot of $$$. (well, for me anyways...)

From what I've heard the tempest's sound good in large ported enclosures, so you may want to go that route if you've got the room.

yea. Although when not being pushed they sound amazing in a small box. Turn it up... and then they start to loose it a bit. Loud as fack though.
PORT IT! 4 cubes ea.

can i fit 8 cubes in a pontiac 6000 or a buick century?

i measured that i can get about 17" tall, 3' wide, and 3' deep, but how the hell would i get a box in there?

i just measured....i can only fit a 14.5" tall box...looks like im gonna have to use 2 12's...any suggestions for low bass and SQ but still get loud to please?

maybe 2 RE SE 12's or SX's (may get pricey!)

im sure 2 RE SE 12's with a kx1200.1 will be damn loud

or 3 cvr 12's
