What amp and airspace? Vehicles electrical upgrades?

if you have 3000 watts to throw at it and put it in a really good box there will be a pretty decent upgrade

Lexus es300 can proly get 6cuft, right now got yellow top and stinger batt n trunk, 150a alt. Looking into amps, running the 12s is a Brutus 2000, which cheapo but pushes them well

On that power you might be better off with the CVRs but it all depends on the box

Idk, thats hard to say. Of course if you upgrade your electrical more and throw more watts at the BTL, it may get louder. Im not a big sub guy, I like 10s, but if I am not mistaken, isnt 6 cubes a lil small for a BTL? With my experience, the more air space you have to let bass come into the cabin, the better. But you may get away with it, with sub up, port side.

How big alt would I need? And what about 2 cvx15s?

What about 2 DC level 3s or SA 15s. DCs would do better with that airspace

A good 200 amp and a AGM under the hood and one in the rear has me running 2800 at .5ohms. With a 1ohm rise

The 2 dc 15s run better than one dc18?

On 2000 watts yes

What exactly are uou wanting to accomplish? 4 12s have more cone area and motor force btw.

im guessing your 4 12's now are sealed?

 

[blc3793]

Yes the 12s are sealed, not enough room to port all four, but I'm thinking I could pull off 2 15s or an 18 and b getting more out of it
