[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8723055, member: 681035"] If I can push that inside height dimension to 6 inches then, leaving half an inch below, I can get away with ~5.5 inch tall speaker. I could probably squeeze 2 12s in it, but would it be more efficient at 1.1 cubic ft shared to run with 10s? Understand also I do not believe I need 1500 watts for this system. Again, I could be wrong there. The subs will be 2 feet directly behind me. I like to feel it a little in my chest, but I'm not looking for it to make my eyes cross or control my breathing. Volume wise I'd like for it to be able to keep up with the new system when I install it in a few years. For now though, the stock alpine system gets pretty loud, but sub excluded there isn't a speaker in that vehicle over 4 inches. Unfortunately I'm sort of stuck with it for now. The head unit blows, rather than investing in a PAC or similar unit, I really just want to swap head units entirely to the Heigh10 for factory function retention. After speaking with my dealer though and several other dealers, a head unit swap will void sections of my warranty that I am not comfortable voiding. After researching on the jeep forum, concensus is cheap focal 165's in the knee panels and some infinity 3022's in the dash corners really bring out the mids and highs on the factory alpine amp. I already owned both sets of speakers from previous builds so they will be going in when the subs do. TLDR, I honestly thought ~500 watts RMS each would provide what I'm looking for. Back in the day I had a pair of "Niche Competition" 10s in the back of my mustang running on a 1k watt Diesel amp in a ported box, and that hit more than hard enough for that setup. I do understand this box will be smaller and sealed, but I'm not sure wattage range I should be investigating. [/QUOTE]
