[QUOTE="tymoto21, post: 8617577, member: 589669"] imo stick to a single 5k for now wired to 1 ohm you are looking for a nice daily driver setup and not competing. you really dont need to worry about actual power going to the subs as much. it is important but i think it would be better walk rather than run. you could always run the 5k now and when you want to run more or bigger subs upgrade to a 12k or something like it. will an 8k be louder than a 5k? yeah but there are so many other things that can make or break a good build besides power. you said you have 15.5cf is that internal or external dimensions? if you post your max measurements you have we may be able to steer you in the right direction. also it would be nice to know a concrete max budget for woofers/amps. and if you start upping power you will need to get the larger alts, batteries, and more wire. it adds up very quick. also the HCCA is a great sub but it has its weak points. I do love the way they look but besides that they are pretty far down on woofers i would use. not to mention many of the "good" woofers have very similar excursion capabilities. [/QUOTE]
