Help! Which setup is better?

[rcollins]

Hi guys, lurker seeking advice. I have two setups for my car (1996 Impala SS with 200 amp alternator):

(2) Audiopipe TXX-BDC2-15 

(1) 8 in port tuned to 36Hz

5.5 cu ft. total after sub displacement and port

or

(2) Audiopipe TXX-BDC4-12

(2) 4 in ports tuned to 30Hz

2.8 cu ft. per chamber

 

I have two sub amps to choose from:

Taramps MD1800.1

Bully Slayer 3000

 

Which would be the better setup for my ride?

The BDC4 is 1100w rms? I don’t think the taramps 1800 would power 2 very well, just my opinion. Consider box rise, and you’d get something like 600-700w per sub at best?

Thanks for the reply. The BDC4s I have are dual 4 ohms, so I can wire them down to 1 ohm. I know that I wouldn't see 3000 rms from the Bully amp due to box rise and my alternator output.  I'm  just looking for suggestions on the better setup or any suggestions using this equipment.
