Well I don't think she's gonna let you half ass it lol. Better get ready to put in work. I've suddenly gotten the idea I want to run BTL's but I still want my sq. But good luck man. It's gonna be nasty. You doing AQ amps as well?
Damn that does look pretty good! Looks kinda like a re to me, idk?
yea old school re If I had the money to toss around I would deff buy some and beat on them
not trying to be post dumper but I did a quick search on the optidrive 15s and there's 3 diff ones lol. but two look pretty beefy and decent

SPL motors most likely wouldn't be good for a high xmax build. Since from what I know spl motors have extremely tight gaps, and high xmax subs typically use motors with "loose" gaps. And sounding good is usually user preference. user A might like subs that play tight high bass notes where others might like loud n low. Typically a sub with a high xmax can play lower notes louder. But may not be louder than another sub. I plan on building two 15s using ti baskets and 3hp motors with a lower fs and a relatively high xmax
epic 8s or RLi8s if you can find them would be good choices, they get low, they put out, and the RLi series subs work in really small ported enclosures.
I say no go, since neither of you are the "mechanic type" thats way too big of a project. I'm a die hard gear head and I wouldn't even consider this project. I second the nitrous kit, but not really. the for 3.8 is a turd of a motor to be honest.
