I used to have dual 12's in the Explorer. But then i sold the Explorer for an older geo tracker. Since then, I've found that I prefer taking one sub and bridging the amp instead of running two subs off one amp.

an amp for every sub can get price tho... unless u can get deals.... or u only need 150watt amps lol

An amp for every sub? I have a SN95 vert. My battery is in my trunk. My. 10lb nitrous bottle is in my trunk (used to be 15lb but traded it for a 10), and my methanol injection pump / tank is in my trunk. How many subs do you think I can fit in there?

yea u should be good... just get a good wiring job done... if u dunno how have a buddy help... i know of ppl that half as a wiring job and hten wonder why everyhing is ****ed up cuz they bought these $500 subs and 2k worth of amps not to mention like a ton of mids and highs.... nice setup... but the kid was a douche and he half *** the job cuz he thot he kne what he was doing

ill admit i dont know a ton about car systems but i work with electronics all day and if u give me spec sheets for everyhting u wanna use i can tell u wants needed and what not... so im a lil above average i suppose... i can run wire like no1s business tho... i work in automation at a platics company (intern) and i help manitanince hte robots used in production... lotta fun... if u dont mind doin work lol[8D]
