Questions about upgrades

[M.A.R.S.]

Please bear with me.... I am sort of putting my thoughts together as I write this. Ask if you need anything explained

Car: '04 Toyota Corolla (Stock Alt. and factory located speakers)

Installed currently:

Pioneer DEH-4400UB H/U

Pioneer GM5500T Amp (125 at 4 Ohms Stereo and 400 at 4 Ohms Bridged)

Pioneer TS-W254R 10" Sub (250 RMS/ 1,100 Peak) X 2 in Q-Logic Bandpass Enclosure

Socshe 4 Gauge Wiring Kit

What I am thinking to get a little more power from the subs is adding on a second GM5500T and Bridging both to get the 400 out of each amp or would this be too much?

I know that a bigger amp than smaller is what I have always been told but to just be carful.

Also come the spring I am planning on doing the Big 3 upgrade from CE Auto Electric Supply and add an extra battery from either Stinger, XS or Kinetik. What size would I need battery for the trunk and what size cables to go from the front to back for the Posative and the Negative cables? (Thinking 1/0 AWG for everything)

Any advise would be great.... Thanks

Also just as a heads up. I have decieded since I listen to just about everything and not just rap/ bass/ hip hop that maybe I don't have the right box. So I went to RE Audio Box Calculator and this is what I am going to be building as well....

Box With: 26"

Box Height: 14"

Box Top Depth: 16"

Box Bottom Depth: 16"

Wood Thickness: .75

Square Port Width : 1"

Square Port Width 1: 14.25"

Square Port Width 2: 16"

Box Volume (Ft3): 2.322

Tuned Frequency (Fb): 20.23

Speakers volume is 0.62 to 1.25

so for 2 the total is 2.50 using 1.25 so I figure I am right on point... Let me know if I should correct anything...

The next nice day without snow I am going to make sure it fits. It should since it is taller but the same depth I have now....

2 things. DON'T use re box calc, it's incorrect. And 20hz is too low, tune about 34-35 hz for all around music

I have never built a box before so how do I figure out everything then???
