if your amp is a two channel you can go for a single 18" setup with a big box tuned to around 34hz or so

here are a few 18"

http://www.mach5audio.com/zen/index....roducts_id=182

both are sold out but should be back in stock soon

Man.... With amp and subs, you have to match up all 3 of the components....The right amp for you sub and the right box for your sub...I could take 1 of you pioneer subs and build a vented enclosure tuned to whatever pioneer says for that sub and have it blow the 2 15"s you are wanting to get out of the water.....Buying a pre made box isnt really going to get you any where.....For example I built a enclosure for my buddy cobra for a single 8"(jl w3) that would put alot of people's 2 10"s to shame....


You have a model number of the rockford amp...

Ok yeah... some its a 2 ch. not a ton of power and brigded it is only stable a 4 ohms.... The 2nd amp you are looking at(pyrmiad) is a 4 ch. it can work but I would go with something like a 2 ch or a mono....

I would first find the woofers you are going to want to use and then depending on their specs find an amp.
