i got about 700$ to spend and im thinking this is what im gonna do

1. (4) 18" mach 5 audio MJ subs all single 4 ohm

2. power it with (2) 2200 power acoustik 2 channel amps
note: might get the 2600

3. kicker 4 gauge wire kit

4. custom sealed box with subs facing up

this will be going into a 2002 escalade and i have the 3rd row seat took out and my last set-up was a kicker 1200.1 with a 15 inch L7 but do u think if i go with this setup it would out pump (2) 15 inch L7 subs? i know these are SQ subs but they should get very loud knowing im getting 4 of them

It would be loud and sound good. There is probably better, but that's not bad by any means as far as the subs go. I would not recommend the PA amps tho. Also, you won't be able to run a 4-gauge kit with that much power. You'll need to go with 1/0 gauge.

Listen to Colby and save up some more money.

Hey you're the guy asking about the amp over on CA right? That amp would work awesome with those subs. Are those amps you listed the ov2-2200d? Cause if it is, they are really only rated at 900rms at 4 ohm.

^ I agree with colby and would save up a bit more. You'll really want to upgrade your electrical (h/o alt, good battery/extra battery) first too.

you know for those ocasions that one two or even three subs just isnt enough to feed your need for bass

A decent box for 2 18s still takes up most of the back of an escalade, so if you can fanangle a good box why not do 4?

Dwight kinda seems like you got ripped off. you gotta know where to buy. i bought 2 15" RE SXs 07's and an 07 MD 2D built my own box using my stock stereo and my total came out to 550 dollars so yeah and i can guarantee you my system will be louder than your 2 12" DD's.

no i'm not putting down his system i'm putting down the fact that he paid 2 grand for a system that in my opinion is no where near worth 2 grand.
