Both will give you solid power for a great price. My Hifonics has my 18's knockin pretty good. Then again you can get the AP3000 for 300.00 apiece. Depends on what your powering and in what. Take some measurements and find out which choice would fit best where you want the amp rack. Shaped way different. One thing to think about also is wiring. You will have a pretty simple setup with only a mid/tweet amp and bass amp. Either way you can't go wrong and you know what they say about that kind of a deal.... It's just like a sore dick, you just can't beat it.

Of course more power is better but If it were me I would sell all 3 and get one nice 3k+ amp.

Depending on your budget is what it comes down too. 2K on 1 sub will pretty much pound anything. Make that box big using the SPL cube specs off DC website and it will do it's best to tear your truck apart. Level 5 is def a top sub. Get more power and have fun with it. That maxxlink will give you a clip light indicator so use it. 2K wont hurt a lvl 5 but if the signal is shit then you could have some trouble.

In electronics you almost always get what you pay for. An amp made with high grade quality parts usually come under rated. (Almost always if your voltage will be above the 14.4 mark.) So you get more out of the rating when paying a little more money. Subs usually are no different, if you buy a "quality" built sub and running a clean signal you get more than rated plus you can recone if needed. Quality over quantity ALL DAY LONG!! Recone option comes in handy when beer gets involved and a big OOPS comes into play.

You a funny dude. nice work yet again! WTF! Wait a sec, why dont you quit holding the comps down. No 6.5 or tweeter has a voice in that house or what. Poor little bastards no love.

Couldn't agree more. Just run them one off each coil. i would go with a D2 and run each amp 2ohm. If you get a DC Lvl4 with a 5coil like mine that shit will honk. I'm running about 1600w to each of mine and my Tahoe hits pretty good. Build your box to run your 18 on max SPL cubes, tune port to 32hz and enjoy brotha.

psst....(whispering) hey careful using too many words like yippie and goodie around here. great substitutions would be shit yeah, right on, I ______rock and I know it. Things like that. Topic - nice project cars man. Both should be alot of fun. Get that Tahoe running 2 18"

Go my son and tell all of the wonderful things you have heard here today! Come back with some beer money though...

Come on man if you dont know it would be alot louder with an upgrade like that then maybe you should stick with what you have. I sure your car rocks right now. You start rocking that kind of power better make sure that electrical is up to snuff. The set up your talking about would sound great in my Tahoe. Trade you my dog for it. He has one eye but that only makes for bad depth perception so hey so what if he is running into shit, look at it this way he is easy to sneak up ninja style on. (right side only)

X2!! I never thought I would be asking a dude to show me how he makes his "Milkshake" but in this case I'm interested.

Since fiberglass is out of the question I would use the wood glue. Glue the wood together allow cure then use a thick layer of glue on outside of joint and allow the outside glue to seal any hard to see airpockets created. Head to Lowes or home depot to pick up a small can of quality wood sealant. (usually outdoor industrial grade) over the course of a few days add 5 or 6 coats to each joint area. This will provide additional strength and keep your wood solid during heavy humidity, pressure etc. That is a cheap and easy way without fiberglass.

You could win a new car for 20 bucks and I could give a shit.. Raffles should be kicked to a different forum topic. I dont know maybe one called "Raffles", "Bingo", "take a chance" shit I dont care just not "For Sale".

Just thinking about raffles makes my balls hurt... Why don't someone throw out fuckin bingo cards so we can all get saggy tits, blue hair and 2" thick lipstick.. BINGO!!!!! YEAH I GET A NEW AMP...Gay

The sound deadner in LMC catalog is off the chain. Price is rough but that was the best purchase of my build. My truck is hitting 147.6 and it shouldn't be quite that high in my opinion. The only thing I can attribute the number to is that deadner.

Thanks for the help guys.

Sad thing is some poor smuck is going to believe that bullshit. Wait..It is eBay damn it! It has to be true if it is on eBay!

I put an Air Raid on my 04 Tahoe and it didn't make any difference at all. Get a new intake system though. My AirRaid made a real good difference in acceleration, I have been happy with that upgrade.Here is the explaination thehoe92 hooked me up with when I asked the same question.

Word! Thanks guys I have some good info to get started and get me some performance. Thanks again
