Didn't say what was optimal said min spec. The low end will sound worse but if I go with keeping height and width same and doing a two stage depth I should be able to get around 4. Also my **** are plenty calm there in my hands.

use Flared aeroports to save on space. Keep in mind, if the enclosure is too big, it'll block the some bass from traveling back into the cabin along with causing other phase issues that will severely reduce output. In the right box, you should pull off at least a mid 30

Can you sell it? I bet we could help you get way more and sound much better without coming out of pocket much at all. You could do a single good 12 on a good 1000 and get mid to high 30s easy. That's a huge jump of it's really that low. I'm guessing you are low 30s now.

What size is your alternator? If it's not suppling the amp the amp is not making any power.

I could see about getting the other first seeing what I like best then selling the one's I don't will go around tomorrow and see if I can find a place for a true reading. I've been in a 160 vehicle and know I'm not close to that I've also been in a 140 car and don't feel I'm that far from it sound and the feeling on your body wise. What 12 and amp would you recommend?

Not sure. Used car scratches on back of bumper and electrical tape on wires so I know there has been stuff done and from pictures of original alternators I can tell it's not. Just haven't gotten in to look. Lights inside and out have little to no dimming even at full.

There are many great 1000 watt 12s but I doubt you will find any of them local.

I'd say around 700. Hmm if that's the full trunk space wonder if iI could just build subs to trunk lid and port into back seat lol. And no not locally at aa fair price would be ordered online.
