Know a set-up like mine wouldn't work. Its not anuff airspace. You would need like a pro box or something customand sealed really good and a big amp to push them.

You would need atleast a name brand 1000 watt amp to get them hitting really hard and thats 1000 watts to each sub.

Not that they are bad so to speak it is just that Fosgate subs are loud with very sub-par sound quality. Give me a budget on you sub and amp and I can point you in a better direction.

budget really won't be an issue right now. i'm just getting to know whats the best or preferred and then from there i can find deals on those brands. i'm finding alot of my friends at work and all have good hookups for all kinds of car stuff. i just need to make a list.

well what are you looking to get?

A well rounded sub? A sub more aimed at sound quality? More aimed at being loud? You want 1 sub or more? What size sub do you want?

I will tell ya the stuff I recomend will be best gotten by you from online, most of the stuff I like are factory direct dealers meaning they do not sale in shops and are more focused on the true aspects of audio, they dont have to deal with advertising, paying dealers, and so on.
