thanks for all the feedback...i definitely won't be hitting any competitions up, and I'm not into heavy bass. it's just my nice daily driver...I may just upgrade the battery, get the big 3, and call it a day.
i do have a question that nobody has touched on yet. is there a reputable box maker that I can take a look at? i'de love to get a prefab, built for my car, but made of good quality. the subs I chose do not require much space at all.
