1970 mustang for a friend... mid 140's 1100 watts suggestions?

i am doing an install for a friend of my moms in his 1970 mustang. I am putting in the memphis belle 5 channel, so i have 1100 watts to play with for the subs... i cant really decide what direction i want to go for the box... im thinking 3 12's sealed. 2 12's ported or single 15 ported... granted this car will never see the lanes and whatever i do, it will have a false wall behind it to hide everything, so looks dont matter.

my main question has to do with the transfer function of the car... front firing, sealed off, or downfiring.

total volume i have to play with is 4.3 gross

wow thats going to be hard to hold sound inside......3 10s sealed is the way I would go

2 10's sealed isnt gonna make mid 140's on 1100 watts, i dont care what subs you run... not enough efficiency... 3 10's maybe but i still doubt it.

Single 15, Audioque's HDC3 would do pretty nice off that power.

thats kinda what im thinking too... might end up having to do 2 10's or 2 12's with the 2.5's though... dont think i have the height for the 15

i agree. even though it's all install dependant, you'll need a perfect install, ported box, and tuned high for that higher score....and with it tuned that high itll sound like ***. I'd recommend at LEAST 1500w-2000w to get 140+......nice subs (or 1 really nice sub) and a well braced ported box will help too
