New build??? help me out.

[Mr.meyhem 10+ year member]

i currently have what is listed in my sig so I'm not gonna list it again.

I'm going to be getting a h/o alt around 160a and upgrading my wiring to 0awg. possibly getting a bigger amp too.

I'm looking to go with 2 10's or 12's.

kinda wanna try out the new sea gcons.

Would like to have more spl then i do currently. would like around 143 or higher.

so smaller box tuned to about 32 center ported with aeros

price about 300 to 400 for the subs and new amp plus what i can sell my apsm 1300 and used oa 15 d2 for. the oa's spiders r starting to wear out a little. so maybe 550 max.

space i can prbly fit 4 and a half to 5 cubes but would like a smaller spl box.

and suggestions on the subs and an amp?

thanks for the help.

i dont wanna be a nut hugger or anything but i kinda wanna go with 2 subs. I've always just gone with 1 and kinda wanna try 2. but yeah I've heard great things about dc. u should check the tuning and stuff on that for me lol.

550 total. figuring i could get about 70 for apsm and 80 for the sub? so 150 plus the prior 400 gives me the 550. and thats for the sub(s) and amp.

i got other money aside for the h/o alt and wiring.

If I were you I would get 2 atomic ele 12's.. def would be loud, but thats just my preference.

ill look into some of these. any idea what they run? id like to have some fudge room under the 550 cuz we all know how the 550 easily gets to 650 or higher lol

thats why I suggested one 15... good amount of cone area and way cheaper than 2 twelves.
