Decisions on my build are narrowing down and i thank everyone for there input thus far.

Here is what i am doing so far.

HU Alpine 7897

Hybrid Audio L4's in kick panels ran off a Zapco reference 350

Peerless 6.5" Mid bass in each door ran off MB Quart PMB2100

For subs i have room for several options under the rear seat of my 2007 silverado extra cab.

2 10", 2 12", 1 10", 1 12" maximum mounting depth is around 6.5 to 7" ( .65 to .90 cuft each

or i can do a custom center console that would have room for a very deep 10" or 12" sub ( around 1.1 cu ft of space but 13" of depth )

I will choose an amp to run the sub after i have picked out a sub.

I like my music clean so SQ is important but i like output as well. i would like something efficient that doesn't take 1,000 w to make work.

Thanks for the input!

Find some stereo integrity mags v4 and throw them in recommended sealed enclosure on 500rms a piece

Image dynamics ID or IDQ, even a MAX if you can find one. The ID are like 300 rms and sound killer.

Fi Q in a 12" in sealed with 1k.

PG RSDC 10" subs on a 600 watt amp you can find for 200 a pair all day on ebay.

 
Give us some examples of heavy metal. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I been told some RD Alhpas respond well that is why I am getting them.

 
My idea of Heavy Metal is Slayer, Nile, Fear Factory, Machine Head, Old Metallica, Testament, Kill Switch Engage, old Megadeth, ect.ect.

i had a pair of idq 10's ran off an orion HCCA 275g4 in the trunk of my civic. They sounded great but not quite enough output. Before that i had a single 12" idmax ran off a zapco studio 500, it was loud and low but not tight enough even though the enclosure was built to spec.

Since i am now in an extra cab full size truck maybe the output of a pair Id 10" idq's might do it. But i was sending them 500 w rms each to get the out put i had so i am a little concerned about there longevity if i did that again.

 
I used to run kicker,

If you just go with a base line from either alpineE or Pioneer IMPP, or Infinity, or Soundstreams. you should be ok. make a nice ported box and it should hit nicely.

I run the turantulas and they sound badass with metal. I listen to into the pit alot and most the stuff you listed. Chimera kicks ass with my set up and does pantera, metelica... pick something and tune it in.

I saw Fear Factory when they opened for Ozzy back in 1997, and their idea of bass (at least live) was a droning thud that was so loud you couldnt even hear the guitars or the singer.

was that in phoenix, AZ? I saw them with marlyn manson and some small bands like Downset. great show.

 
I have seen some bands multiple times. Sometimes they sound awesome and other times they sound like ass. i think it has to do with the venue and who is running the sound board. Also if you see a band outdoors and are to far away the sound waves seem to screw up before they get to you. I have had that happen with Metallica, slayer, slipnot and sepultura. close to the pit they sounded awesome but farther away the sound was not so good.

I am still considering going with a pair of IDQ 10's again although i am looking into the RLi series from sound splinter. I am pretty much wanting to stay in the 1000w range for either a couple of 10's or a single 12" Still searching options but i am still realy torn between a pair of 10's and a single 12.

I think you'd be happier with the output of the 2 10's. Also they'd probably handle Heavy Metal a little better as well.

What is your budget? With being exposed to Rain.. I would recommend looking at a marine grade SAS Bazooka for the sub stage
