What kind of enclosure are you going to do? Prebuilt? Build your own? Tuning? How big?

I'd say you'd be pretty happy with the D3's more than you would with the RE's.

Well if your not on a budget just get some FI's

Alright, thanks guys!

Its not a stock headunit. http://onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_2088..._KDC-MP242.aspx What kind of setting would I look for in my headunit?

I am trying to find out if there is a way to make the speakers in my doors to play only the highs, since I have subs to cover the lows. The main reason I want to do this is because my front speakers are stock and they sound like shit at moderate to high volumes because of the bass. I looked at my head unit settings and couldn't find anything but maybe some of you know how? They are 5x7 speakers by the way.

Honestly, I'd take the sundown any day. Never had much experience with soundstream products, but the specs say 2200 watts at 1 ohm so I'm guessing it does around 1800-2000. The sundown looks more aesthetically pleasing and has better customer service and will probably still pump the same amount of power. Oh and I didn't see a price on the soundstream so that's another factor I didn't include.

I would do Fi audio BL 12" fully loaded - https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/...view.shopscript AQ1200D - http://www.audioque.com/aq/?page_id=26 2.5 cubic foot box ported to ~34hz Knukonceptz wiring - http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.c...allation%20Kits XS D975 battery up front - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...id=320460884557 Clarion CZ309 headunit - 6 volt preouts and other goodies - http://onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_2085...rion_CZ309.aspx

My friend had a similar problem with his 2 cvrs. The amp would have power and everything was hooked up right, but the subs would not play.

If you are new to car audio, I definitely wouldn't get them for your first setup. Most people on this forum will agree. Except the crazy ones.

I don't know the actually power a r500 puts out, but you could get 2 dual 1 ohm SSD subs and push them with a hifonics amp. I like Hifonics amps because they are 1 ohm stable, push rated power, and are priced very well.

With your budget I'd personally go with: 2 12": https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/...view.shopscript Enough power for those subs and a great price: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-HIFONICS-BXi-2010D...mplifiers?hash= 0 Gauge amp kit: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX-PK0 RCA cables: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.c...rodID=KARSS2.6M Speaker cable. I'd get 12-15 ft: http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KAR10SS Head Unit. 6 volt preouts, usb and aux ports, 20x4 watt rms for $130: http://onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_2085...rion_CZ309.aspx For that system your looking at ~$940, you could build your own enclosure for $35 if you have the tools. Use 3/4" MDF board. Anyways, that's my input, hope it helped. Oh and I just remembered, if you can find a good price on them, 2 12" funky pup subs will get louder than anything mentioned in this thread. Be careful.

Depends how much RMS power your going to be running 80 amps should be fine with under 1000 watts. With 1500 I'd probably go with 120-150 amp fuse.

Depends exactly what you want and what woofers your going to be running, but 30-40 hz is a good place to start.

It was a soundstorm f700.2, an older amp. POS too. Don't have one at the moment. Will soon though.
