SQ vs. SPL?

neh, i guess i was just looking for something to start building and add onto it over the winter. i was looking at the hifonics but have never heard them. and i don't mind spending a lil more, but that was the base price i was trying to stay around. when i first decided to do the 2 15"s (before making the decision about the L7) i was suggested to go with the power acoustik amp, so i stuck with it just for price.

meh... what suggestions do you guys have, since you're all seasoned in this area? im really looking for something tahts just a solid starting ground, upgradable, and hits hard. plus i tend to do my own installs when i can- minus box building.

all but the budget was put in my 1st post.

1998 buick lesabre custom.

6 1/4 in the doors (i fi remember correctly) and tweeters above them in the arm rest portion of the door, 6x9s in the rear deck. all stock speakers at the moment....

sony head unit. one of the better models (if there is such a thing). the thing i like about sony head units is the ease of staging the sound level with the DSO option (does that make sense?) i'd like to replace it with the pioneer AVC-N2 but it's not my priority right now. once i get into mobile video and start playing around with screens and the like, that's going to be my 1st upgrade.

4 GA wiring to a crappy sony amp ive had for close to 3 years. it's been to hell and back and just keeps working. so i figured i'd put it to use for the time being. its powering 2 12" alpine type Es in a...oh...lets say small sealed box. it hit decent and very clear but some deeper bass sounds distorted. i want the best of both worlds. can it happen?

as for a budget, after xmas time will be best time to start getting crazy. before then i just want to lay a foundation and do a good alarm and minor mods. i guess price isnt really an option, but as always a penny saved is a penny earned

there ya go-

no, seriously... it does  lol

you would never think this would you :) lol

as for the breaking in the L7 i read the manual and it says that i has somthing that needs to be broken in. and alot of people on other forums say to break them in, but thats cardomain so most of them arnt the brightest xD
