I'll start off by saying i'm not new to the car audio scene. I've been into it since the mid 90's and have built a few descent setups. But I still probably don't know as much as 3/4 of the people here. Currently I have a Audiobahn AW1500Q sub in a 3.5 ported box powered by a Us amps USA-100. I know this set up isn't Sundown, or DD but it gets pretty low and loud especially with the low power. I was thinking about switching to either (2) or (4) 12's but I want to keep it budget. I have a hard time justifying spending alot on car audio as I get older. Back in the day I had (4) kenwood subs in reall small sealed boxes on a Audio art 100hc I was pretty happy with the output on the subs. I currently have (2) us amp usa-100's that I can use. So i'm thinking (2) kenwood KFC-W12ps (single 4 ohm VC)on one amp, (2) Cheap Hifonics ZW12D4 (4 ohm DVC) with two amps, or (2) Audiobahn AW1251M with two amps. Please keep in mind I'm trying to spend around $100 for both subs, and trying to use the amps I have. I also have the big 3 in 1/0 copper wire. One last thing. The alternator is stock 130 amps. I'm afraid if I go with 2 amps it will be to much for the alternator to handle. Its in a really tough spot to get to on the Saturn Vue. Any opinions?

Thanks
