Can not decide what equipment.. Too many options ! POST OPINIONS

[rickymac21 10+ year member]

Sorry to post such a noob thread but I really do want opinions. . . I have been wanting to do a new install for some time, but Im trying to get it right this time so i don't build it, and take it out 2 months later for something better. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

That said I'm basically looking for the best I can get. . I won't need help on electrical decisions, just the picking of the amp(s) and sub(s)

here are some of the options...

Amps:

1. Stetsom 5k2

2. Stetsom 7k2

3. Hifonics Sampson

4. AQ20

Woofers:

1. 18" lms ultra 5400

2. 18" IA warden

3. (2) 15" wardens

4. (2) 15" SS XXX's

5. (2) 15" DD9515's

These are all just ideas and examples... If you have an idea of an install just throw it out there (no funky pups guys. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif ) The whole install will be going into a VW jetta . Trunk set up. So keep that in mind as well. .

its 90% build and 10% equipment...I can get any of those setups pretty much equally loud

Well yea I know that, I have a reasonable amount of experience when it comes to putting together a "real" install. I have done a many for myself and helped a few friends out in the past... So that shouldn't be an issue... I was just hoping someone could help me decide on what equip would give me the most potential for a daily 150+ street beater. .

Stetsom and Wardens. IMO

with the wardens would you suggest using the stetsom 7k over the 5k? I know the 5k is rated to put out around 6800wrms @ 2ohms with only 13.8 volts... Would more than likely be closer to 7400 on a 15.5v i would imagine. . Even then Im sure the wardens could handle lots more?

Im assuming your a DD kinda guy (personally those are slightly too big of melons for me) haha. . But yea I could roll with that.. I haven't ever seen anyone using one of those amps though. Do they do well for daily?

They are DD's...I'm running a DD Special Edition #21 out of 50 in my Wrangler right now and can do over 150 on a single 12 playing music....that amp is less power than a M4a and a 12 is way less cone area...I could do 154 or better with that setup...I'd be doing mid 150's if I updated my electrical
