now that i think about it, doesnt the same guy own bother Fi and AA or at least make the parts, i think i read that in a discussion about the parts for an 18 inch crossfire that is very similar to the SMD/AA subs and yes i agree you should only try to put the rated power or even a bit less to the subs, unless your a pro with audio and wiring, i think steve said in one of his vids when he was taking out the Fi BTLs and replacing them with the SMD/AAs that he was getting twice the rated RMS out of those BTLs but he said you have to be pro and know what your doing so id stick with the rated RMS any 15 of those brand will be powerful enough as it is

welcome, and nice truck, nice speaker setup as well, clean build

im a AudioNoob so this comment is based from my experience in the research ive done trying to begin my first car build well i think everyone can say those are all respected brands, i would suggest comparing the t/s parameters of the subs, see how they compare and for what price gets you what kind of power, also as someone already stated some subs are capable of more power than is rated so for that of course you would need to hope someone with experience with those subs will comment i know rockford fosgate is good brand,but i would lean more towards the others, either Fi or treo, ive never seen the nightshades so i couldn't comment on those, AA is nice too or else steve wouldnt have gotten his own line, although i think they were specially made so they may not be anything like the other lines of AA except for brand not sure the price on the treos, but i know FIs have some nice power for reasonable price id think, also i suppose it depends on what you plan to hook them up to, how compatible they may be to the amp/s you plan to use and if you want room to upgrade or use these subs with as much potential as you can grab from them

im having the same dilemma, but i plan on going with 3 10s and i have a lot less space to put it in, but it seems you got plenty of space, are you wanting a more basic build or something a bit more difficult, like bass reflex, or Tline? i have a few designs ive drawn up for 3 10s, maybe one may work for 3 12s, after i recreate them on photoshop, ill upload here and see what others think, but you amy already have a sweet design by then

ive never made animated avatars like that, i mainly make animated sigs for forums, but i animate eevrything in photoshop and edit it there too i know its not as easy but i am just particular to photoshop longest animations i ever made was like 300+ slides but ill check out that vidgif, thanks

if you cant afford photoshop, then please go the legal route unless you do things otherwise cannot be discussed however the is theGiMP which is a free program like photoshop or there is sumo paint which you can use directly in your browser and many people think its better than photoshop i think the url is www.sumopaint.com i got my photoshop from college so i was very lucky, lol

congrats
