Please, whatever you do, DO NOT buy any of your audio gear from egay. That is the absolute worst place to buy electronics. I would go to walmart over egay any day.

Ive not hear d the REs but have heard good things about them. I have personal experience with the daytons. I would take one of those daytons over a JLW7 any day of the week. The W7 is a hard woofer to beat.

i've bought pretty much everything audio related off of ebay. as long as you buy from a reputable seller there really is no problem. I've had my stuff over 2 years and it's still working just like new.

what daytons are you talking about? the HO series? I LOVE the 10" ones i had one 10" in a 1.25cube @ 35hz in my old contour and LOVED it. They have AMAZING SQ but they aren't that good at the SPL department. I would say the SE12's are a little under the HO SQ but they are lightyears ahead of it in the SPL department, they are a great daily woofer. I had a SX 15 before I got the SE"s and it was loud as **** but didn't sound all that great. RE is a solid choice for price vs performance. I would also check into audioque and Fi, even mach 5 and SSA.

Actually, the HF series daytons this time. They are very similar to the HOs. Same design and build quality. i can see where you are coming from talking about a single, maybe even 2 of the daytons not being all that great in the SPL area. But trust me, 4 of these puppies is enough for anyone. A buddy of mine had 4 of the HO 12"s in 4 seperate tiny enclosures (.8 cubes) and a pair of the JL 1000 slash series amp in a newer full sized tahoe. He hit 148 at the dash while competing for sound quality (at the time they still did SPL measuring).

i'm sure 4 would be pretty loud. But I would much rather go with 1 or 2 solid drivers because not everyone wants to have the whole back filled with a box. No offence to people who do it but if your looking for any room left i'd just go with a single sub setup.

Default RE: sub angles

so what guage wire do you think for the 3 amps. I was thinking 0 or 2 and then splitting it into 2- 4 guage for the 2 amps then an 8 guage for my speaker amp. This is the amp i have for the speakers http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=5304 I know it isnt anything special but it works good and i bought it from a freind for $30

4ga. PDX amps do not need anything more than 8ga. The lightning audio you already have probably coudlnt even burn up a peice of14 ga wire lol. So I wouldrun 4ga and split it up into 3 8ga wires for each amp. If you can, I would hide the LA amp and show off the 2 PDX amps. You have a lot of space inbetween those 2 enclosures to come up with a nifty amp rack system. Play around with some ideas and see what you can come up with. Make sure you run your wiring nice and neat and use a lot of zip ties. The zip ties with the screw holes in them kick **** so use them where you can.

Default RE: sub angles

Ya the LA amp will defiantly be hidden. I plan on taking out all the interior and putting some kinda sound deadening in. I will run all the wires at the same time. What do u recommend for sound deadening. I still dont know what to do with the other 2 amps. I can fit one in the oppening in the box but dont know what to do with the other. I want them both to be visible and under plexi with some kinda red LED lighting. Any ideas?
Were can i find all the wiring i need along with a cooling fan.
When i do the big3 what guage wire should i use.
Also according to this https://blazerforum.com/m_40326/tm.htm i should use 1/0
