Hey, I just got a new system, a L5 15" square kicker in about 4.2 cubic feet ported box, made at car shop, with a MTX thunder6500D class amp, my car runs at about 13.5V so i say my sub is getting around 600 - 700W rms into 2 ohm load. Now I heard my 15" kicker in a ported box can easily take 1000W rms. Right nows its pretty loud, its brand new, the sub doesnt move a whole lot, after it breaks in some, will it move more freely??? and souind louder and/or deeper??? also the people at car place said not to play it loud when trunk is open because you can blow the sub because of back pressure? is this ******** or is it true? Also would it be a HUGE difference to buy like a 1000W RMS amp? Should it still sound really good???

I was thinking about a JBL1200.1 to push it? too much power?? All this is in a 1995 Ford Taurus.

BTW the trunk rattles TONS.

You could do the 8" as a front sub on its own amp and use it to bridge/enhance the gap between your 12" in the rear to the midranges
