I am leaning more towards SPL, but i dont want it to sound crappy at lower volumes, because when the family is in the car, they dont want alot of bass.

how loud is loud to you? what other systems have you had/heard and what did they consist of?

loud for me would be rumbling the car, mirrors shaking, and would be able to stand down the street and hear the bass with the windows up.

well ur not gonna get that out of the speakers you selected unless you have more of them. and why would you want to hear it outside your car?

lol so when i pull up at my friends houses, i can amaze them

could i do it with a diff amp?

You wont do this unless you got well over $20,000 to spend and a minivan to put it in.

Now with the windows down, yes you can probably rattle the pictures on their walls.

I sugguest you listen to these subs before you buy them. You seem to have large expectations and your bound to be dissapointed...

ok, with the original system i posted and my windows down, would you hear me from down the street? Would it be better if i got a different amp?

Possibly.

There are just to many factors.

Is it installed correctly, is the box built correct, is the amp/head unit/crossovers tuned correctly, vehicle acoustics, vehicle electrial system...

Its like asking about what dB it will hit, there is just no way to anser it.

ok thanks, i got one last question.

Is it better for the subs to face up or back in an SUV? This is what i think, correct me if im wrong.

Facing Up-I think this will be louder, but i will have to put a grille over it (for fear that somthing will be put on it) and that looks ugly.

Facing Back-Might not be as loud, will not need a grille, and looks damn cool with the back lift gate open :)
