[QUOTE="MisterGrubbs, post: 2134777, member: 561929"] Loudness is going to depend on whether you go ported or sealed, and also it's going to depend on the install and how well you do. The Type S's are decent speakers, I've gotten a single Type S very very loud in my single cab F-150 I used, considering I paid 50 for it used. One thing I will say is that it MIGHT be easier to use one amplifier instead of two, you could pick up a nice monoblock amplifier that will do the job just fine. Also - in connecting the speakers in a series, I don't think that you get it, although I might be misunderstanding what you're saying. In order to get a Dual Voice Coil 4ohm woofer to draw a 2ohm load, you connect the two positives on the subwoofer together and the two negatives together, then link the positive to the positive on one of the amps channels and the negatives to the negative of the same channel, if that makes sense -- - -- so it'll be one speaker per channel at 2ohms per channel As far as how loud - I dont think you have a bad idea, the S's are good little budget subs, but personally I think you'd be much happier with two Type R 12's in a nice ported enclosure on a nice monoblock amp, you can still come out fairly cheap overall with it.
