well since you guys have far superior audio video knowledge than the GM forum ill post some questions here.

I have a 2009 Silverado EXT. cab Z71. i just ordered the new Kenwood DNX9140, and now i need some Subs. I had 1 Image Dynamics IDMAX 10" in my Car that was LOUD, but that sub is to deep to fit under the rear seat of the silverado.

I am getting the pre fabbed boxed that fit under the rear seat (downfire).
Air Space = .60 cubic feet per sub
Mounting Depth = 5 1/8" - 5.75" per sub

So here are the questions
What sub's should i get and what OHM?
2 S8L7 8" Solo-baric Recommended RMS Power: 450W

2 ID10D2 Image Dynamics v.3 RMS Power handling: 50 - 400 Watts

What amp? I currently have a Kicker KX 600.1 that i used with the IDMAX which worked fine, but i don't know if its enough to power 2 subs. i would like to keep this amp if it is possible

i plan on upgrading the speakers down the road but i need some thump first

Thanks.

Looks like you've had some nice equipment. L7s are the opposite, junk. ID over them is not even a question.

While less power will still work, you will need a bigger amp to get best performance from those subs.

can make the 600.1 amp run at 300x2 rms?

and do i want 2 or 4ohm subs? (for 2 V.3 IDq 10's)

What is a decent amp for this setup? budget in mind

Pretty much something that does 800-1000
Alpine MRP 850 comes to mind.

2 or 4 ohm coils depends on what amp you get. Dual 2s you need a 2 ohm stable amp. Dual 4s you need a 1 ohm stable amp.

I can recommend the alpine mrp-m850 it has enough power for ya. But it still depends on the subs to whether that is the amp for you just as M.S. said.
