[QUOTE="EricF, post: 8914342, member: 682238"] Hey guys, I recently picked up a 09 Avalanche, it's perfect for a run around/winter vehicle and of course it's the perfect candidate for a system. I plan to update the head unit, swap out the front 6.5's, pillar tweeters and add a sub to the midgate. I can make any sub configuration work. I've had multiple sets of 2 10's in my previous crew cabs and I always wanted more. On my last truck I ran 4 8's off a 5000.1 soundigital amp which pounded. I'm leaning towards the Memphis pro series 15" sub (700watts rms). I figured I'd keep the stock electrical happy by keeping it around 1000watts. The power requirement on the Memphis 12" and 15" are the same. I've never had the chance to hear a 15" sub in person before, but I'd imagine the lows really shine. My total budget is 4-5k CAD for everything. Anyone have any recommendations? It's almost impossible to find quality pre-built boxes for the avalanches so I expect to pay a good chunk for this custom box. The only higher end pre-built midgate boxes are designed for big systems (4 12's, 2 15's etc.) plus shipping would be a fortune. I'd consider a single "SPL" type 12" sub, but I don't know how much the stock electrical can take and I don't plan on upgrading the alternator or adding a second battery. I appreciate any info!
