He's gunna get electrical when he does the install after he gets his subs.... And like a little over 6 cubes.

Does he want to use most of that power?

Hmmmm well for starters he could look into DD 9500's, Sundown Zv3's or older night shades, SSA Zcons, DC xl's or level 5's...

Would that be enough power for two level 5s? Or would he be better off with one 18 inch level 5? Would one 18 lvl 5 be almost as loud as two 12s?

Depends on the options... You would probably be fine with XL's honestly...

Would 4 AA chaos 10s be loud on that power? Could they handle that power? just saw that they would cost about the same as those 2 12s.. Would that be loud?

It would give you more cone area but it wouldnt be a ton louder to the ear...

Well then I think we'll do two 12s. So you think xl's would handle that for daily?
