My best option for 300 watts

[FordExpoMan]

I have 300 watts, and the whole rear cargo area of a ford expedition for a sub set-up. I plan on buying 2 15" kicker comp subs and dropping them in 8 cubes with lots of port area (using the recomedation on the kicker site accually).

Do you guys think this will give me the most output i can get with only 300 watts?

If i go this route, which direction should i aim the subs and the port?

Thanks for reading

What kind of amp? Also @ what ohm does it do your 300 watts @? I would personally go with the Type r's. They get loud with little wattage.

My 300 watts is the 5th channel of a hifonics amp (forgot model number), but it is 300 watts at 2ohms.

I don't think a type R would move much with 300 watts. They are what, 750 rms?

I figured the comps are 250rms each, so 150 watts each should get them moving...their Xmas is 11.53mm (not bad for a $75 15")...dropping them in the largest ported box they can stand should make them efficent.

I have 4 RE8's right now, but i am under powering them by a good bit...moving to the comps, i would be over doubling the cone area, and the 15's would probably use more of thier xmas then the re's because i'm closer to their rms power...Am i missing something?

get 2 12's comps and put them in a 3cubes box and you'll be satisfied.
