Thanks...i am convinced.

Head to Home Depot to grab sound absorbing material now and padding the whole jeep.

Can you recommend a single large amp?

With four DVC 10's @ 2ohm i have an RMS of 1600w (max of 3200w)

I want an amp that i can add two more DVC 10s.

So in the end i need an amp that can feed 2400w RMS (4800w max)

That is the ideal amp. However i am only pushing each sub at 300w now so i could go as low as an amp only handling an RMS of 1800w for 6 subs.

Any thoughts on these amps:

Orion 2500D

Orion XTreme Pro 2400

Rockford Fosgate T2000bd

Rockford Fosgate T3000bd

?????? What kind of damping are you going to get at Home Depot?
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

goal was to locate some dense foam.

after talking to the "foam aisle" guy he told me about something called "Torchlite" that is sold at roofing supply stores. (he explained that it is used to absorb sound in open space attics/roofs)

it is the same material as Dynomat at about 30% the cost.

tomorrow i am going to the local roofing store and picking some up...

They have the Orion 2500F at ikesound.com for a really good price, so you might want to check that out if you do decide to go with that amp.

bullman if full of it. I'll give you $20 apiece and pay for shipping. Save yourself from the opportunists!
