[QUOTE="skateboardkid, post: 3743504, member: 582399"] Why cant you afford to power them you want one big expensive 18" sub that is 1.5k rms, same deal. though more cone area = more air being moved. ther are tons of options out there for you, pick the subs that match your budget and more importantly your airspace requirements. If you are skilled enough to build a couple of boxes almost any quality sub will get loud enough to impress. this thread got all cought up in this ohms vs SQ debate and me and plenty of other people will tell you that is BS. ohms are resistance to current, lower you ohm load and you get more current, simple. Look into the setting your gains with a dmm in the amp section and get te biggest f-ing amp you can afford... it will be clean power. the system you want is gonna cost you 2-4k because once you start putting up big power you need extra battery, high output alt, multiple runs of 1 guage. Then add in dynamat or raamat for the entire vehicle, killing the rattles so that what little sound gets outside is clean as fak. I would suggest reading the entire sounddeadener showdown article. If you want clean sound you gonna have to spend time and $$ on your highs. there is no magic formula and once you hear a great system - hopefully yours- it is worth it. Seriously you could run one type X on 1500rms, great sound, amazingly deep bass. very few highs can keep up with 2k rms on subs -think about it even with 200rms to each set of components, you have 5 times the power to drivers that are 5 times the cone area. you want balanced sound and you are on a budget. you can have a loud daily driver, but forget trying to be the loudest dude in town and build a system that really impresses you, and makes you want to listen to it.
