I finally got my car paid down enough to where I feel comfortable pulling off bigger customizations so I thought, why not do a sick sub install?
I've had subs in the car before. I had a cadence TXA-1000D (not sure exactly on the model) pushing two 10" kicker CVRs. It sounded alright but it made the trunk rattle like hell, even after installing dynamat. Long story short I sold the system and waited until I paid my car off a bit more to do something better.
My idea now is to take out the back seats and work out some way to make the back seat area look clean, maybe some carpeted plywood or something. I want to mount the amp up where the back of the seats would be and the subs on the bottom where you would sit. Planning on using two 12" alpine type R's and whatever amp I can find at the time for the best price will be the amp of choice (1200rms-ish).
My goals are to have the subs extremely loud with as little rattle as possible. I know I'll have some rattle but as long as its no where near what the trunk sounded like I should be okay with it. I also want it to be extremely loud. Like, hearing it from a block down loud. I know the 12's may not be enough, which is why I'm posting this thread.
My concerns are like I said, I'm not sure if it would be loud enough. Due to how much work this is going to take I really don't want to install everything then end up wanting to change it, so I guess my question; should I go with the two 12's or save up for two 15's? What about brands? In the past my only experience is with kickers so I'm really wanting to go with something with more quality this time, though I still wouldn't mind sacrificing a bit of quality to be more loud.
My budget for this atm is hanging around $1k. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
