i'm all for my 12" RWC 304 MB quart sub, it's sooo damn clean and very efficient. I went to buy a JL 12W3 but the MB quart was too badass to pass up. As for speakers i love the infinity 63.5i's damn they sound awesome for a co-ax...about the same as the 500 dollar mb quart components IMO.

my setup is decent for the time being. Pioneer deh6400 HU, Kenwood dualmag 6 1/2" up front, Kenwood 3-way 6x9's in back (they were $50 new 
), a Sony Explode "760 watt" amp (it barely gets the job done 
h: ) powering 2 Pioneer subs in a bandpass box. So far I've spent around $1300, but I think it's worth it. In the future I want to power the front and rear stages with the sony amp and get a Rockford Fosgate 800x4 amp for the 12's wired for stereo on 2 channels, and then add a 15" sub in a non-ported box wired mono to the other two channels. And then after that, probly upgrade the 12's to the same company as the 15" I get (more than likley, they'll be from JL's w3 series).
it's a never ending process, taking chunckes out of your wallet.
but it sure is worth every penny :thumbup:

Damn dude so your gonna have 3 15's in your car then? I have the same car as you and I have 2 10's and the whole damn rear of the car feels like its gonna fall apart it rattles so damn much. You have any raammatt or dynamatt or anything like that back there? If you do, since you have the same car as I do, maybe you would know the trouble spots. (rattling)

2. you should use 1 farad per 1000 watts, or 1 farad per 500 watts to be on safe side, your gonna want more than a 1 farad cap (thats if that audiobahn even holds a true 1 farad)
3. 10gauge power & ground is going to fry and cause fires, for all the power that those amps 'say' they can do, you would want to run atleast 2gauge if not 0 from the battery to the deep cycle batteries in the trunk, then you can run 2gauge from that into a distro block and break that run into dual 4gauges for your amps.
4. is this battery going in the trunk as a 2nd or under the hood as the only battery? if in the trunk as a 2nd then you wouldnt need the cap simply because thats all a battery is is a large capacitor.

-ive always went by 1 farad per 1000watts.
-like i said in his other post...10g is NOT going to cut it for power and ground...10g for speaker wire is overkill.
IMO, i would forget the cap and upgrade your alternator. then again, IMO, i wouldnt get that list of things you got.
no hard feelings.

but unfortunately, it didn't have that hard hit I oh-so-love The 2 12's I have right now thump like a biatch, but there's no thick, resonate bass that the 15"-er gave. So...... 
No dynamatt or any of that crap. I don't really beleive in it
h: The only real problem spots for rattles that I've found so far are the Rear Liscense plate, and where the brake light rests against the rear windsheild. I keep my rear seats down whenever possible to eliminate most of the bullshit rattling. And facing those 2 12's forward into the cabin helped reduce some rattlage, as well.

you know you might be able to get the bass you want by redesigning the box.

nah, I'm happy with the current amount of bass. I just think it would be fun to have a seprate gain ajuster for a 15" sub and be able to crank it at intersections and whatnot. I don't want to go deaf that quickly.
