Question, 15" MTX thunder6000's

[mchilton]

OK, so I just bought two 15" MTX Thunder 6000's for $120 off ebay, the seller had a 100% rating so hopefully they're functional. Now I'm looking at enclosures, I considered building my own but I dont have any of my tools here (I live in Tuscaloosa right now for college) so Im pretty much limited to purchasing. I have a gift card to best buy and I have been looking at some there, but now I am down to sealed or shared chamber. What are the benefits/limitations of each?

Some info that might help:

I drive a 2004 Audi A4. The Subs I Purchased are 15" MTX Thunder 6000's (4 ohm DVC 300RMS 600Peak).

Also, I would appreciate any help with reccomending amps. Right now I would like to hook it up to my factory head unit until I can afford a new one.

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated, im very new to this.

Is it these found here, http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/archive/2001Thunder6000Sub.cfm

Looking at the specs, they dont require that big of an enclosure sealed, something around 1.75 net. I think 3.0 net ported would work well too.

RMS is 300 each, so its going to depend if you got the 8ohm subs or the 4ohm subs. You will need something that puts out at least 600RMS at 2ohm.

Kicker 750.1 would work well, but anything that puts out around 600 to 800w RMS would be golden.

If your on a budget, check out the classifieds, im sure you can find something that will work well for those subs and your price range.
