well this summer, or sooner, i plan on doing my wall.. me and a friend figured i could around 16cf or so.. i think ill end up doing a couple 15"s, 200amp alt, one or two batteries, all 0gauge wiring ofcourse(welding cable, i can get it free), 2layer wall on each side, glassed in the inside, smoothed edges for better flow in the wall..etc..lookin at around 150sqin of port area, give or take.. anyway.. what amp can i get for around $400, first amp that comes to mind is a used Orion 2500D, Power Acoustik A3000B(or their new SL line), Viper 2500. so if you guys can list some amps and prices..

for 150 more you can find MM4000.1s also 16cf is to large for 2 15's. and dont build your wall to a certain size build it as big as you can then take air space away.

somehow i knew you would say that amp, lol.. well i wont be doing ALL of 16cf.. i figured this by going with the contour of the car, but i may just do a big ol' sqaure box like alot of them are..

im just used to my setup.. sure it beats and stuff, and its a "little too loud" for most of the people in my town, it just isnt enough for me..

does anyone have a price list on DD stuff?

Why not 2 18's??? That would work better in 16 cubes. Are you planning on competing with this too. If you are, i would talk with Elevation Audio about getting 2 DX2000.1's for you as a competitor. And i think you will need a lil more than 2500rms... i think 4k should be minimum. An Autotek MM4000.1 would be REALLY nice.

it was just a suggestion and can be had for that price. you can look at 2 hifonics 2006d's or maybe a crunch GP3000.1D's there are some serious options. and mike is right 2 18s would be perfect for 16cf.

word of advice.
If you want an amplifier of any sort of quality, you have two choices:
Fix a price in your mind, and find how much power you can get in a quality amp for that price, OR-
Fix an amount of power in your mind, and find out what a quality amp with that output will cost.
Never fix both power output and price together in your head, or in the form of a question on the web.
You're setting yourself up for failure with cheap amps by doing so most times.
