yeah, i knew it was 500 watts. as long as he's careful with the gains and volume control they should be fine. :)

type-r's should be relatively cheap too. you could probably get them for $200 on ebay for a pair, but I would spend the extra $50 or so and buy them from an authorized dealer...or at least a place more trustworthy.

well I think I have a plan, im gonna sell my jbl 1200.1 for 300 bucks, if this kid buys my 2 infinitys and my amp for 300 that will be 600, then I can get a kicker kx600.1 and 2 atlas 15s and I wont have to spend any extra money. Sound good? Ported doesnt sound bad i guess, but id need like 3 cubic feet per chamber or more to port 2 15 atlas's huh? lol room i dont have.

i run my single atlas 12 in a 1.5ft^3 sealed enclosure and it's real loud. definitely call ascendant audio and ask to talk to chad b/c he recommended 1.5ft^3 and i didnt see that anywhere on the website. with a sealed enclosure you can run it with the high Qts setting, which sounds like a ported enclosure b/c it adds that extra bump at the low end. i installed a potentiometer in my console so i can adjust the Qts with a dial, but you can just put an extra terminal cup on the box hooked up to the second voice coil so you can easily take the jumper wire off or on to adjust from high Qts to low Qts if you dont want to install potentiometers. good choice; that's gonna sound awesome.

If I was limited on space I'd go ported with one really good 15 instead.

What are you running for front stage Mith? Will it even have chance of keeping up with 2 15's? I'm also curious how those Atlas/Avalanche 15's do when it comes to midbass transition. I'd think you'd need some serious midbass for it to blend well.

eh, midbass will come, my front sucks major balls, i have 2 sony 3.5s lmao, im not really worried about having everything perfect right now, I should be able to buy a set of RE comps by summer and maybe an amp for it. Im pretty sure im just gonna have bass out the ass, if it is too much ill lower the gain or eq on the deck.

well if my mom finds a new car shes gonna give me her old one and ill pay her when I can so ill be ripping all the carpet out because its grey (was once blue) ill probably put black in so I can run all my wires, so ill probably do a pot like you did. Hopefully I can stay around 2 cubes per chamber, even though ill have more room once the car is mine, she has some stuff in the trunk.
