Need help choosing a system

[PsychoZX 10+ year member]

I need help choosing a good sub setup. My budget is aroud $1000-1100. I am after both SQ and SPL with good SQ being the priority. My car is a 2001 Nissan Sentra 2.0 SE. I would prefer not to do anything such as an alternator upgrade, extra battery, etc. My deck is a Panasonic CQC-7103U.
I was leaning towards a Hifonics Brutus BXi 2006D amp and 4
Dayton TITANIC MKIII 12s
in a sealed box. The only thing I was worried about is whether or not that much power in my car would be a problem without an alternator upgrade. Is there anything else in my price range I should be looking at instead?

If I do get that amp it will be through etronics.com. They have it for $340 before shipping.

Any other suggestions?

Instead of your subs in seales, I would highly reccommend putting them in a ported box.

I was under the impression that sealed boxes give better SQ. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

yes in most cases it has better SQ but with ported you get alot more output and you can tune to the freq. were you want it to peak at. If the box is done well it will sound great.
