^^ yup, 4th order through the rear deck is a great way to achieve some clean bass with not trunk rattles.
And people, to a certain extent, size doesnt matter. you can get a single 8 to slam if you do your build right. As for the guy with a sealed box with two 10's and two 12's?
OP:
better off going with something different than Kenwood. Spend a little money and get something that is worth your while. And again, your best bet is to port it though your factory woofer location or cut the leather behind the armrest of the seat and port it through there. Our seats are horrible for blocking sound. Air doesnt like to pass through leather and foam. Point woofers forward ported through rear deck or arm rest and baffle off the back of the trunk... That will give optimum bass, but must be baffled from the rear.

I cant stress, Sak, that your amp is not made for a single woofer set up, yet alone a daily set up. I dont care what a company says, you cant do 2500 at a woofer all day long, even DC lvl 5 is an 'iffy' situation. I say get a pair of bad *** tens or 12's (if you can get a box in there for 12's) and run dual subs on that amp. Less stress on the woofer and better distribution of power.

thats true. but high wattage amps still can produce heat cause for that then we can put a 1000watt amp on a 100 watt sub full blast with no distortion and it will pump out bass for days.. But I dont decredit your comment cause distortion is the #1 cause of woofer meltdown. Amp wattage (when high) plays a key role when designing a box cause more power needs more box volume cause the poor woofer gotta breath -_-

Question?
Did anyone use the existing subwoofer cables and connect them directly to the amp? I was thinking of doing this but some/most amp will only allow a maximum wattage through the speaker inputs. I want to use the existing wiring and just run a power and/or remote wire. Anyone? Anyone?
Thanks all.
