[QUOTE="Eddie_24, post: 7783053, member: 642425"] I already posted a thread about my plan to upgrade my system... It's still an intact plan. I have no sub-woofer amp at this point due to having to send my BRZ1700.1D back to sonic due to it being defective. So my first priority is buying a new amplifier. I'm going to have about 260 to use on sonic for my next purchase, and I'm going to toss about 350 from my next paycheck into my search for an amplifier. After taking peoples advice on here, I've decided to take that 260 store credit and use it on other means: 0 AWG to do the Big 3, and maybe put a 2nd XS battery in my trunk. So I'll have about 350 to spend on a amplifier... I was looking at the Soundstream Rubicon 2500RMS from OCS (Online Car Stereo). I like the RMS power it does at 1 OHM, gives me room for advancement in my subs. Is the Rubicon a good choice? It has a sweet signal to noise ratio of 105, I definently dig that. I won't have the subs upgraded for a few weeks after I buy the amp (due to bills)... I plan to buy 2 DC Level 3s or maybe 2s (depends on my money situation) and wire them to 1 OHM to whatever amp I buy. A custom box will be built for these subs to go into the trunk of my Chrysler Cirrus, I'll give each sub around 2 cubes a piece if I can. What should I have the box tuned to? To optimize my SPL and still have good sound quality? Because I mean I want it to be meter friendly but it's still going to be my every day street beater as well. I'm not looking to break any records or anything, just be really impressive. -Off topic... If I hooked my 2 Kicker CVRs (wired to 2 OHMs) to the Rubicon(or whatever I buy) and kept the gains low while I wait to buy my new subs and box would that be okay? I mean sure I'm buying new/better subs but I don't want to see these Kickers get burnt up, I'm just having withdraws from not having a booming system in my car lol.
