[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8678795, member: 665412"] Start by looking at the actual size you have available. Something like 2 8's ported would get you what you want, especially since you're fine without having crazy amounts of bass. You need to factor in the actual 8 inch drivers surface area and see if you have that in a flat surface, and then the port which will need to be somewhere around 15-30 inches long and 4 inches in diameter or 25 square inches Then of course you'll need a 1kw monoblock amp (so you get 500w after rise) and some wiring to hook it up. It sounds like a lot, but it's really not. A decent shop may be able to do this for you for ~600 installed if you don't want to mess with it. Otherwise if you have some basic woodworking skills we can help you out. On the higher end of things you could do 1 or 2 sundown sa-8's (200 ea) on a taramps md1800 (~$160) and get a box made for around 200. It will sound A LOT better. You just need to do some legwork and find out how much volume you have and what orientations will work. [USER=650438]@Jeffdachef[/USER] you know anyone in the Sacramento area we could recommend if he just wants to source it out to a shop? [/QUOTE]
