[QUOTE="SounDrive, post: 8472286, member: 653833"] I threw together some rough box specs and got 3.3 cubes ported with sub displacement, double baffle, and a bottom center port accounted for (that tends to work best in SUVs). So you'd need a sub that will work well in a small enclosure if you still want to do 2 12s. If you'd like to see the design let me know and I can PM it to you. I actually have SounDrive subs coming soon that were designed around daily listening and efficiency, so that sounds perfect for what you're doing. Price point should be around $325-350 each for a 2000w conservative rated subwoofer. That leaves $1300-1350 for an amp. The Audio Legion 5k's we sell would be a perfect match wired at .5 for $899.95, or something like the new and improved Taramp's HD8k EX that is coming soon for right under $800 would be a perfect fit at 1 or 2 ohm. After rise you could expect about 4-5k clamped power, plus the taramp's come with a clip light so you know when you're getting a little too happy with the volume knob. All in all, the sundown isn't a bad choice, it's just an expensive choice when other options will perform just as well. This can of course be scaled down to something with less output too - perhaps a single 15 ported on half the power [/QUOTE]
