[QUOTE="Full Tilt, post: 8082905, member: 640249"] Hey guys. I've been rocking my SA-15 for quite some time now, and I really do love it. However, I'm reaching that point that all of us eventually do - I need to upgrade again. Now, my trunk gives me plenty of space, but the opening is my issue - it doesn't give me a very good gap to get a deep (or tall, one or the other) enclosure in. My enclosure is barely meeting requirements for my SA-15, and well, here's the verdict: Should I, 1. Design a new enclosure and then build it in my trunk - this would save me quite a bit of money from doing somewhat of a rebuild, but I'm afraid I'd eventually get used to that, too, and have to spend more money anyway. I'd probably have to have the sub fire up, and I've heard a lot of cars lose output that way. 2. Do a total rebuild. My trunk can much more easily fit 2 12s firing back than a 15. That, or a 4 10 install, probably firing upwards. I'd also be upgrading amplifier power. This would be the more expensive option, but would leave quite a bit to work with if I ever needed more in the future. I'm currently giving my 15 about 800-900w from my Kenwood KAC-9105d, and I'd definitely upgrade if I went with 2 12s or 4 10s. If I got a new enclosure, I'd probably keep it. Which would you guys go with? [/QUOTE]
