Thanks for the replies, guys. Being somewhat new to car audio, my decision will depend heavily on the advice from my fellow SMD guys. Oh, this will definitely be a wall build. I have no intentions of doing anything other than a wall. The Level 5's have crossed my mind, of course..but I NEED something cheaper. I really can't afford them at the moment. I still have to buy EVERYTHING after the subs (batteries are next, then alternator, then wiring and shit, then box materials and whatever is left) I guess that I don't have a set budget... although I definitely don't want to hurt my wallet too bad. I want to have this thing playing by summer, at least. I guess it comes down to the best deal for subs that can sufficiently handle the power they will be seeing EVERYDAY. I prefer to have 4 subs that can handle ~1300+ RMS, as opposed to 2 subs at ~2500+RMS. But in the end it will come down to whatever I can get the best deal on.

Purchased my SD 5k a couple days ago! I'm debating on whether to buy 2 18's or 4 15's...4 18's ? (If they would fit) Basically, I'm looking to build a wall on a budget. I was just looking for some advice as to which subs could handle the amp without killing my wallet too badly. I really wanna hit the lows and move some air (and hair). It's all going in a 4 door s10 Blazer. As always, thanks for the help guys.

I'll be there. Spectating only, of course. Hopefully there is a nice turn out. And hopefully it doesn't rain too bad.

u made 144 on 2 sony subs in a sealed box?.....

I definitely understand man. Had this shit forever. All through school for as long as I can remember. I literally watch the clock move for hours at night. Sometimes I take a melatonin(spelling) supplement. Supposedly it makes you sleepy, I don't know if it's all in my head or not...but it seems to work for the most part. Don't need a prescription either, just like 5-6 bucks. Good luck man

Man, that's not even the worst of it. One of them was stolen on my birthday! I tried to find threads on"The Big 3" here, but the search failed. I searched on google and found some things. I will check it out this weekend. THANKS for the help guys.

Thanks for the help guys. I already got my alarm installed haha. I've had 2 cars already stolen out of my driveway.

First off, I would like to say that I love this forum. The community is extremely helpful, and there are some insane builds. I bought 2 new subwoofers earlier this week (Memphis PR 15"). They are in a slot ported box that a friend of mine from a local shop built. I have a Memphis PR 1.500 amp. (came from old setup. was only used for a matter of months, and not pushed hard AT ALL) The head unit is an Alpine CDE-9872. (came from old setup) All wiring is memphis. 1 gauge amp kit. The door speakers are still stock.(working on getting new ones) The car is a S10 Blazer. (Old setup was in a Lexus ES300 with the same amp and deck, but 3 kicker 12" comps) I can post pics of the setup if you guys want..but it's nothing too crazy, nothing that you haven't seen before. Nothing like the systems on this site. I am somewhat new to car stereos, and I have a few questions about my setup. Thank you to all who help! I was wondering if there would be any reason NOT to have my amp being pushed to it's full potential? Is it safe to turn it all the way up? I am pretty sure that the subs could take it, right? Also, what kinds of numbers do you think my system would put up? I know it won't be anything good, I was just curios. This car is going to be a project for me. I want to make it loud to where I can actually go to shows and competitions. I am probably not going to be able to get any good numbers out of what I have, but I am making good money now and everything can be replaced in time. And I am going to start adding things to the car with every paycheck, but I honestly don't know what to start with. I was wondering what you guys would do next if you had my current setup? (within reason. more expensive=takes longer to afford) I know it is a long thread, but any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
