Ok so im thinking of doing a system in my new (old) Explorer. But i want to wang harder and lower then my last Explorer

My last explorer was an 02 and i did 2 15" Kicker l7's vented and didnt like it and then went to 12 10" cheap Audiobahn subs and liked it much better, it got louder and even hit the lows better. But now i just picked up a 97' and i want to do an install. I have everything i need but subs My sub amp is an ORION D5000 so i got lots of power

So really my ? is what subs should i go with? Im not trying to have a comp car i just want a everyday street banger. i want it to have BIG lows. and really would like to go sealed subs up or subs facing hatch.......Im looking for the best subs to use sealed.

I have around $1100 for subs.......NEED HELP TO PICK WHAT ONES!

I was thinking of doing 4 15" Fi Q's big sealed box subs facing up but im not sure....

anything you guys got to say would help...

Thanks for everyones time and have a great day~

 
Also i just wanted to add my bro has a Kicker ZX2500.1 but wants to trade for my Orion HCCA D5000 becuase he has HCCA subs.....

Could you tell me what amps better?

 
Because i really dont have tools and kind of dumb when it comes to vented boxes. Sealed is a walk in the park. plus the last vented box i had for the L7's didnt sound as good as the sealed box i had. But then again i had way more subs.

I guess i could go Vented/Ported but then i would have to pay someone to make it for me and around where i live people want ALOT for that... I know alot of you guys make boxes and ship them but dont that cost alot?

depends, cuz a properly designed built ported box will blow the majority of sealed boxes out in terms of output. But even getting it built by someone on here would prob cost less than local shops, even after shipping

 
i think a properly built ported box is just as important as anything else you'll buy for your system.. why cut yourself short on how good your system could potentially be..

and lows of a ported will DESTROY the lows of a sealed.
