best sql setup for my suburban

[jstaguy24 10+ year member]

i am looking for a good setup for my suburban. right now i have a jbl gto 5ez i will be using for the subs. so i will have 500 rms available. i will go bigger later. i have had many dual 12 setups. dual 10 setups, and fairly recently had a 15 in a low tuned, large ported box. i am more into sq but still like to get loud. my last dual 12 setup was Memphis audio mc12's ran by a polk pa880 at 500 watts, sold them and with the same amp later had a Memphis 15. both setups had the sq i wanted, but not quite as loud or hard hitting as i wanted it to be on occasion.

so my thoughts are

1- 3- 12" subs

2- 4 -12" subs

3- 2 -15" subs

4- 1- 18" Sub

i only want to build the box once. i will build based on my future sub plans, but my initial subs will probably be something like jbl gto's or something similar budget wise. then when i can upgrade electrical and get a large monoblock, i will upgrade to better subs also. something more along the lines of jbl gti subs or similar with lots of power.

right now i have too keep the budget low until i finish my house remodel.

need a dollar amount for the budget man.

Also to save money, IF you can hold out for black friday/cyber monday, You'll save a lot of money and get great subs.

I'm probably either buying used subs initially, or subs in tthe 100-150 range. the build will be permanent, but the initial subs might not be. unless they give what looking for and no reason to upgrade later. mainly trying to figure out which size setup i want to build. I'm leaning towards 2 15's, with a large low tuned ported box.

I'm going to be doing lots of various things. lift kit, tires, off-road stuff. so my initial audio budget is low. just getting some tunes while i work on it. i want build boxes, amp racks etc based on what i will ultimately end up with.
