FIRST SYSTEM....NEED HELP

[Guest 02cougarc2]

This is technically my second car but I consider it my first because the other(1990 geo storm) i sold pretty quick. I have a 2002 mercury cougar v6 with 4 4x6's and a 6 disc changer(stock)....I have a 2006ish pioneer premier headunit that i plan on installing. My neighbor had an 02 mustang and gave me the Mach 1000 10's inch subs(2) but I dont know if theyre any good. Im not sure whether I should get a ported box and I'm definantly confused when it comes to what type and size amp I need. I havent been able to find specs on the subs alone yet but they atleast look they theyll hit. I know my question(s) may sound amature but your time and advice is greatly appriciated.

Ive never heard of them..so cant tell you what amp would work good on them untill we got the spec's of the sub,Asfar as a box i would most def say a portedbox..if your handy with wood 50$ tops for a box.Not so handy with wood BassBox Pro Prefab box..had one for some 12's i had before i got my big boy system and it was great.

Hope this helps a little!

The specs ive found say 570 watts but I dont know if thats per sub or combined. I know my question(s) may sound amature but your time and advice is greatly appriciated.

Ive got the shaker 500 subs....if they are anything like these they do NOT take that much wattage.

power specs for subs are for singles, i've never heard of those subs myself but I'd shoot for a 2 cube box, slot ported to 30 - 35 hz, with no more then a 1000 watt amp.
