OK guys... with limited space that I have.... I think I have come up with a sytem. Although not the best brands, I think they will get the job done wonderfully.

I decided to go with 2 12" subs....

Then a 2000 watta 2 channel legacy amp...

Then 2 single sub boxes (these are only ones that will fit wher I need them too so yeah)...

Then of course i'll need a big amp wire kit but no need to post a link for that.

OK.... after my choices... Is anyone totally against one of these listed products? Or the setup completely? Or anything? Or does it look good? LMK. Thanks.

Actuallly, I think I'll go with these subs b/c they have a 2 year warranty...

But, I'll go with same amp.

Any opinions?

This link brings up CMTs home page for me, so I don't know what subs you are looking at.

i hate to tell you this but that legacy amp will not put out anywhere close to 2000 watts. legacy amps are good for being paper weights not much else (kinda like sony). for the box i wouldn't buy one. you can buy a sheet of 3/4" mdf for around 20-22 bucks a sheet a tube of silcone caulk for around 4 or 5 bucks, and some 1-5/8 drywall screws. you would only need one sheet to get 2 of those boxes made. and then about 15 bucks for carpet. and you have a quality box that saved you money.

I would much rather buy a Hifonics or Autotek on ebay with no warranty than to buy a Legacy warranted for 10 years. It's worth the chance if you use everything as it's intended. An amp of reasonable quality will rarely give problems if it is used as it should be. And especially during the warranty period. On the other hand, if you bridge a Legacy 2 channel amp and use it for heavy duty sub use(for which it isn't really designed), you are looking amp failure dead in the eyes. And the price difference between crummy subs and some decent subs is minimal if you really think about it.

But, having said all that, I understand being in high school and being on a budget. So if you settle for something less than the best, it doesn't mean it's your last system by any means. Upgrades will happen.

Since my last post, I have decided to build my own box b/c it will prolly need to be some very odd shaped custom. I may still may go with the subs and amp... Not sure.... I may not get any at all b/c with my couch in the back I am not sure where to put them. I'll update once I have it figured out. Thanks for input.
