thats a really sweet deal considering your going to pay that much for a run of the mill speaker set whereas these are top o the line!

Which model of audioban subs, and what make/model amps are these? what type of box are you using for the subs?
a capacitor won't help. you'll need a larger alternator, which is explained in the FAQs and Guides section of this site (top section of the forums) read the threads on capacitors, and alternators/charging systems.
the Qform kickpods are good for positioning. For speakers, I'd look at CDT or Alpine based on the price range of gear you're using now, since I'm guessing you don't want to blow $350+ on each set of speakers.
Also I'd strongly suggest you consider a 4 channel amp for front/rear speakers. part of the reason your stock ones blew is from clipping and distortion caused by a lack of adequate power to keep up with those subs. This would give a more rounded system with mids/highs able to keep up with four subs.
The subs are "X" series wich i think is just 1000 rms but the amps ( don laugh when i tell ya) are 2 2400 watt pyle PLA2680 2400 Watt 2 Channel.
There is 2 boxes 1 is ported the other is slot (and speakers are inverted on the ported box ).I had this guy I know do the installation for 500 bux cause im friends with him but he does this for a living ill get some pics up on here either later today or tommorow

So they are both ported. A slot port is just a diffrent way to port a box. Both have the same efect in the end.
Yeah bill i was thinking the same thing, probably alot of cancelation poblems given the two diffrent port freqs.
Wow, I had to download the manual to find the RMS specs on those amps. I found a few web sites advertising 600 RMS a chanel at 4 ohms (bullshit). So what does the manual say? 200 watts rms a 4 ohm, and 290 at 2 ohm.
Man I am not trying to bash your stuff, but I find it funny when an amp advertises 2400 watts, and its barely pushing 500.

It was 500 for the whole install.
The guy works at finish line out in parma. I need to take this to someone who knows what there doing or just need more help and training so I can do this myself.
