kick a$$ system although you might(might) be underpowering your subs a bit but, I doubt it, I would also recomend 1 15in brahama in a snail shell box on the same amp

Well, the only other thing I can think of your HO alternator, Especially running that amp @ 1ohm. Something to consider. Hate for you to get 2 Brahmas and go to turn it up a little and your charging system not be able to support it. Do you know how many amps your alt is....

Well i got a 01 grand cherokee and i think it is over 160. . . but i'v seen aftermarket ones that are 220 amp that i could get but they are pricey.

David- i think 750 watts for each sub should be plenty. . . according to Adires site and from what other people have told me, because it is quite the size box, the bigger you go, the less power your going to need. but i could be wrong.

One more question, is there any car audio stores in michigan that carry the 12" mark II brahma or whats the best mail order or online vendor i can go to???

Contact Adire to find out about local retailers. Most retailers are on backorder because of high demand and supposed new model release.

Try them on the Alt you have first, never hurts. Then look at upgrading if neccessary.

750w in the right ported application will be perfect power. Jonathan can suggest the best dims for the box.

Good luck, should be fun.

Actually, I'd rather see you get Brahmas that W7s. As far as the box, what are you looking for more of, SQ or SQ/SPL?

How does the 13w7 stack up to a Brahma or X.X.X. leaving cost asside. Strictly performance w/ the same power.

Has a little more SPL due to surface area and a tad more excursion. IMO, the SQ of the Brahma and X.X.X. top the W7 though. Brahmas and X.X.X. tend to need less power and work better with less power.

Well i like it loud when i want it to be and sound good to. So i sure do want SQ/SPL so i would guess not a huge or small box??? but not sure on how big i want to make it yet.
