If you want good lows, port your subs and tune ~30hz. Also, the subs you listed require 1kw at bare minimum, even more in a sealed box. Do you have the electrical upgrades to run 3kw+? In my opinion, grab a couple of Mach 5 IXL-15's, put them in 7ft^3 tuned to 28hz, Grab a Sundown 1500D in the classifieds for ~$300 to run at 1/2ohm, and enjoy the lows.

Also, the price of the Mach 5's will equal one of the other subs you're wanting(maybe less).

I plan on pushing each boofer with 1 AQ3001d a piece, and I certainly do not have the electrical to run them now, but I will when I get my ****.
I tried a custom ported box for my kenwoods and I didn't like it much, I built it over specs so it would be lower but I still didn't get the same rumble and I didn't get the same lows..
Thanks very much for the advice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
yeah everyone here reccomends ported its crazy but i love the sound of a sealed box so much cleaner and definitely not as distorted

Ported boxes are very dependent on install. If you miss a cut by .5" your port tuning changes thus changing entire sound of it. Ive noticed over the years that a ported sub can be as tight as a sealed just depends on sub and install.
Oh yeah for sealed 15" boofers Fi Q's fully loaded.

And if you're a true basshead w/ a tahoe 2 15" won't be enough... I thought so until I put 4 15" in mine... but... also my 3rd row light in the ceiling has broken and shot out as well as my sunroof going out and my glass hatch lock/release breaking... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Polluting Residentials
A properly built ported enclosure can sound every bit as good as sealed
2 18 inch night shades in 11 cubes on a vfl500.1 at .5 with 130 inches or port tuned to 35 for the win should 151s to 153s on 12 volt setup 154s on 16v
btw i have a dual alt bracket for your truck and alts
