New System
Well ive started plannin and designin the box for my new system in my truck..
i wanted to go with a wall with 2 15s and go all out and be LOUDDDD..but found out it was to much of a pain for my alternator situation..
so ive decided to go with 12 10s..yes thats right 12 10 inchers..lol
a Rockford Fosgate 2000 watt
2 spair batteries
200 amp relay
200 amp alternator
im goin go the local shop tomorrow they takin measurments for the box design..im takin out jump seats, jackbox,everythin in the back to give me more room..so they will be for sale soon i think..
im really excited bout this next weekend im gettin my dynamat and stripin the truck down..
just wanted to share and hopefully i can get some positive feedback on my idea..

wow...thats really retarted....plus you cant run 12 subs off of one amp. not gonna happen.i might be able to see 6 in there on a wall, but there arent enough cubes to put 12 back there. just go for the 15's, its cheaper, u wont have to block ur back window, and u can run 2 15's off of one amp. get another battery, and a dual battery wiring harness, and u wont need a new alternator, it uses the battery as a stiffening capacitor. but if you intend on doing it anyways, good luck

the biggest problem i see, is going to be the resistance, youll have to run a few series AND parallel circuits to get the correct resistance to the amp. even then you wont get enough power or youll over heat your amp.
i should note that i am not very experienced in this field, so i could be completely freaking wrong i think michael would be able to explain it best

What kind of 15s?

if i went with 15s then i need 3K watts to much alternator problems and junk..i will be hittin just around the same as i would with 2 15s..

macdaddy....162 is not the loudest in the world, theres a ranger that competes here locally with Audiobahns in a lil older ranger, dont kno how many subs he has, but hes pushing around 167, 170 sometimes....if u want quality subs that will pound go with either eclipse titanium pros or 12 or 13" w7's

which amp are you going to use(model)?? what type of box will they be in? also, which model RE's are you getting? (im assumming you're getting RE's cause you mentioned them. if not, which subs are you using?)
and yeah.. the 2 extra batteries wont do anything for you once the truck is running.. from there its all up to the alternator. if strain on your alternator was worring you, then add a bigger one, or a second one, don't ignore it.
also, like everyone else is mentioning.. just looking at the subs, you're going to create something like a .266 ohm load, your amp will last like a week trying to support that.

and what will that do to the sound? cheap subs sound like only one thing.. cheap subs.
right it may be a 1 ohm load after 4 of them after that every sub you add will bring that 1 ohm load down lower youll need a true 1 ohm amp that will cost you an arm and a leg and then a really good doctor to make you some hearing aids
