[QUOTE="BCotrell, post: 8697201, member: 666314"] Keep in mind that md1800 put out nearly 1000 watts more than it was rated at 2 ohm so it’s efficiency was rated at power potential not the power like you’ll need. Clean signal, box rise, and available amperage available will impact the final power your subs see. With a 3k you’ll be able to keep your gains quite conservative. As for the move to the Tahoe, my mistake, I just assumed you would want bigger bass when you moved to the Tahoe (as so many bass heads do). I actually have two 1k rms 10’s in my Landcruiser and its plenty of bass for me but some times I think about What if. I actually traded a guy two brand new 12’s for his two 10’s same models worried about the space thing similar to you. a solid 10 is going to take 1.5-2.0 cubes per sub so figure out the space you’re willing to give up and go for it. Might want to proactively find the measurement of the distance between the backseat of the Yukon and the rear hatch and use that as your enclosure max depth otherwise you’ll be paying for a second custom enclosure when you swap cars. Might have to anyways just due to size constraints of the TL trunk and ability to adjust the other two dimensions. [/QUOTE]
