2 to 2.5k to spend .. hmm .. custom it? with a shop .... make it look nice and clean?

Are you going ported or sealed? I also have a Grand Prix, and the trunk opening is really small. If you want two ported subs, you are most likely going to have to build it in the trunk.

im going ported ... i know i can fit 2 12's ported in there , i wondered about the 15's though

R's wont even compare to
SI Sound integrety

FI Q or BTL

If you want to spend 2-2.5grand... i definitly wouldnt get r's

WTF? He could be where he wants to be with the Q's easily! I would say do 2 12" Q's off a nice 2000rms amp and get the right electrical going and you will be in bliss. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

I had my pair of 15" IDQ's in my GP , and yeah in a sealed box they BARELY fit in there.

If you've got that much cash to spend, or are willing to spend that much

Why not do a single 15" BTL or single 18" BTL on an Orion 2500D or IA 20.1

 

[basschase 10+ year member]

yeah , i have my mind made up on the subs , just need to know what kind of box and amp now

 

[scooter924 10+ year member]

I have two 12" Q's in my Grand Prix. My box is about 5 cubes tuned to 29 hz (thanks Robin!). You will have to build in the trunk to make a good sized box for the Q's.

 

[basschase 10+ year member]

what amp ? and how are you liking them ?

 

[DubbDesigns 10+ year member]

f!@# teh FI Q's get 2 fooking audiobahn 15" subs with extra chrome baskets and a 4000W pyramid amp to power it. Leave the comps stock FTMW!

Heres an idea.

Fronts. Rainbow Germs 265.25 ------$450

Amp for Fronts. Zapco Ref750----------$560

Sub. Fi Audio 15inch Q-----------------$280

Amp for Sub. Zapco 1100.1-------------$770

Total------------------------------------------$2060 (with out Tax)

if you want the spec for the amp and fronts go to their website.

If you have $2000 to $ 2500 to spend, forget the SLC, get something higher in the rainbow line. like the Germs. As far as your car you can fit a 15inch nicely in the trunk.

Its up to you. you can get 1 15 inch Fi Q hook it up to a Zapco 1100.1 amp or get 2 12inch and hook it up to the same amp. Zapco is under rated, youll get around 1400+ watts. @ 2 ohms
