[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8326363, member: 650438"] First off, get some knukonceptz 1/0 OFC or sky high 1/0 or 2/0 OFC(oxygen free copper) absolutely necessary for 5000 watts rms. 2nd Do the big 3 upgrade, get an high output alternator and several AGM batteries or else you wont have a chance of running those subs without your car's electrical system self destruct on you. You are looking at well over 1000 dollars in electrical upgrades to support a 5000 watts rms system. Also, Ditto with blazian's peak power comment. Absolutely useless number, never look or even think it should have anything to do with your amp or sub choices EVER again. Second, every time you change the impedance, you HAVE to set the gains properly again. Google up how to set gains with a digital multi-meter. Third, free good quality enclosure designs are everywhere, you just need to look. here are some: Go download google sketchup and go to [URL="http://products.soundsolutionsaudio.com/index.php/product-information/zcon.html"][B]ZCON Series Sub Woofer[/B][/URL][B] [/B] scroll down and click predesigned enclosures, their box designs generally work really well with any sub in similar power category.
