[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8665104, member: 611804"] I would suggest a larger amp at least 2kw on those two subs. Combined with a large battery mounted as near as possible to the amp. Anything over 1500w should have 1/0awg or 0awg wire running from the alternator to the primary battery and then to the secondary battery then the largest possible wire to the amp. The only capacitors worth anything are ultra capacitors which can help in conjunction with a large enough battery reserve. I like 100ah per 1500w or more As said before clipping can occur with any sub/amp setup. Whether the amp is 10w or 10000w a dirty signal will always kill a sub. Research the big 3 and do it to your vehicle. It's cheap relatively compared to the cost of batteries and will likely help your voltage drop with what you have now. Ofc copper wire is as good as gold compared to the cheap cca wire Box specs and box design make more difference in subwoofer output then the sub itself. Grant you are using similar power setups You also can vent the rear deck to let more bass flow to the cabin of the car instead of getting trapped in the trunk [/QUOTE]
