$1k to spend on spl set up

[bighossf150 10+ year member]

Here in the next few months I will be looking to put a nice spl set in up my truck, 2006 f150 extended cab, Im looking to spend around $1k on the subs and amp

I was thinking this amp:

Amazon.com: Brand New Us Amps Merlin Series Md-3d 2,000 Watts Rms Competition Class "D" Mono-block Car Amplifier with Built in Butterworth Crossover, 24 Db Sub-sonic Filter, and Aluminum Heatsink: Electronics

with either 2 of these:

RE Audio SXX15D4 15" 1,000 Watts RMS Dual Voice Coil 4 OHM Car Audio Subwoofer

or 4 of these:

Amazon.com: RWE-352 MB Quart 15" Reference Series 1400 Watt 2 Ohm Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer: Electronics

Im open to all opinions, I plan on taking the back seat out for the box

Re's you chose = $576.30.

Amp you chose $414.95.

991.25

System I would have chosen for you:

Audioque: ORDER

2 HDC 15's $538.00

AQ 2200D $389.00

____________________

$927.00

Now, that US amps is hard to beat, but the AQ is right there with it.

The aq subs in my opinion are better than those re's.

The sdc's would be 636.00. combine that with the aq2200d and you're still right there in the ballpark.

would the hdc 18"s be a big improvment over the 15"s?

Do you have moolah set aside for a bit of electrical upgrade?

 

[bighossf150 10+ year member]

I plan on spending $1600-1800 altogether on the subs, amp, box and electrical. Maybe a little more if I have too

This, need AT LEAST another battery. and you SHOULD go HO alt

Id go with Audio que also, if you can fit 18s do that too and if you ever wanna up grade you can always add another 2200d lol

I plan on taking out the backseat for the box, I should be able to fit at least a 16 cubic foot box

How about 2 brand new american bass XFL 15's, and a new American bass VFL120.1 (2600rms at 1ohm).

Go with a Single 15inch Incriminator Audio Death Penalty and an Audioque 2200. That should be plenty loud in the right box.

16 cubes in back seat? So u are walling it off?

 

[bighossf150 10+ year member]

I figure I could fit at least a 4' wide, 2' high, 2' deep, box in it

one beefy 15 like a btl or IA DP. 300-350

at least 2.5kw, something efficient like mmats or kicker. you can find zx 2500.1's for 400-500.

an HO alty, stock bat up front and a beefy battery in the back. back bat needs to be at least 2000 crank amps, more the better. i LOVE my xs d3100, worth every penny. alty will be 300-400 depending on where you buy, another 200-300 on the battery, and 50 on 1/0 awg.

realistically you're looking at upwards of 1500 to get where you want to be. but trust me, itll be worth it. my btl impresses me every sinlge day
