Current setup:

- 96 volvo 850 GLT (back seats folded down, as I generally only ride by myself or one other person)
- Clarion DXZ775USB head unit
- two 12" Infinity Kappa Perfect 12 VQ's
- one Infinity Reference 1600 amp
- Qlogic vented box (i think 1.5 cu ft)
- 1.2 farad Stinger capacitor
- 4 gauge Stinger all around
- Yellowtop Optima battery (main car battery at the moment)

SQ from these subs is good.. but honestly I don't have too much experience with good subs, as most have them have been Sony hand-me-downs.. but I'm looking for more SPL..

Would it be better to get new subs or maybe add a bangin 15" to the mix for the extra SPL? Maybe just an extra amp with the current setup? I'm up for recommendations.. trunk space isn't a problem at the moment..

Do not mix and match brands or sizes of subs. If you want more spl go with one or two 15's. How much are you willing to spend on a new setup?

If your looking for SPL drop does sub and get something else. What's your budget? If you haven't bought the cap don't.

if you have cap get rid of it imo it does more harm than good with it being so small.

Really that not a bad setup you have there besides the cap being unnessecary.

My guess is the box is wrong.... ported prefab boxes are crap 99% of the time.

I'm willing to spend about 1500ish now, but can do more later.. Also considering an extra battery and a bigger alternator..

I don't think it's the box, either the amp or the maybe the stereo.. I can always sell my current setup to a friend tho
