Thanks for all the responses. Hopefully, we can get a lot more responses so new members can use this as a database for recommendations. BTW, I have never competed with my system. I probably should at some point but I only do this for the personal satisfaction, my hobby is electronics, mainly for home theater but car audio is what got me into all of this. I've spent too much money already and I still find myself shopping!

I will be helping SHOLUVMYSVT with his installation when he's ready. Maybe we can compete with his car.

How do you get the amount of db you are puting out?

Well, from other posts I have determined that the cabin gain from a contour has to be somewhere around 18 dB. I have a sub with a 88 dB 1w/1m sensitivity. 400 watts going to the sub in a sealed box with a Q of .8

Sensitivity 88 dB
dB from power 26 dB
Cabin gain 18 dB
dB from box design 0 dB
Total 132 dB

This is obviously theoretical but should be pretty close...

I'm running a Panasonic CQDFX55ECU CD head unit One Kicker ZR 240 pushing a Kicker Resolution 6 1/2" component set up front. In the back I have a Kicker ZX 460 pushing Kicker Impulse 5 by 7's on two of the four channels. I'm running a Kicker XPL 12 off of a Kicker ZR 360 mono @ 4 ohms. I have another ZR 360 I will soon be pushing a Kicker solobaric L7 square 12 with. I'm eventually getting rid of the XPL and getting another L7 to replace it. Total wattage is about 1500, 1100 to the subs alone. And my friend's Integra sounds much better with only an orion 12 running off a 200 watt Cadence amp. d@mn that trunk, I wish I had a hatchback Mondeo.
