Like I said before, on a bit of a budget, being only 17 makes income difficult, I was lucky enough to come in to about $2000, after I get my exhaust work done and the needed repairs on my truck, I'm left with about $1200, I'm also only allowed to make one order from kicker a year (since I work at best buy, we get heavily discounted prices). So I'm trying to get everything together in one purchase.

The kicker 10" L7's require at least .75cu ft. min in a sealed box, and a max of 1 cu. ft. I don't remember their RMS, but I think it is roughly 600 each. So I'm hoping this will get plenty loud. I'm on a fairly limited budget, so with what I am buying right now, I'm at about $560. I work up at Best Buy, so my discount on them is... decent to say the least. The one thing I want to find is some spools or 4/8/1/0 gage wire. Some if someone can point me somewhere where I can get it cheap then I'll highly appreciate it. I was considering lifting the seats, but don't want to bring them up too much, also if I buy the wire here local, the cheapest I've found is $160 for 200 ft of 1/0 and $110 for 4 or 8 gauge wire. So if anyone has some cheaper let me know.

Alright, so I've finally got the cash to toss into my old truck to give it some kick, but I'm not 100% sure what route I want to take. The truck is a 98 chevrolet silverado ext cab. I don't want to pull out the back seat, so I fabricated an enclosure that holds 2 10" subs and gives each .95 cu ft. a piece. I'm pretty set on getting 2 10" kicker l7's and a Kicker zx 1500.1 amp. Now for the fun questions, I'm wanting to get it as loud as possible, but still retain a nice flush look with the back. So would it be a better route to go with a single 10" L7 ported or just stick with the 2 10s sealed like I planned. Also, after I upgrade the big 3, should the stock alternator be enough to power this or should I look at getting a more powerful one. Any tips you can give will be greatly appreciated, here is the truck its all going in to: This will be my first install, so I hope to do decent on it.
