If you are going to power those subs with that can handle that much power you may just want to strap a 1000 watt amp to each of the subs... Or get an amp that can push all of those subs. RF has a new amp the "Bd3000" that I'm sure will push anything you throw at it.

the bd3000, is 3,000watts by 1 at 1 ohm. You'd have to make sure your subs can be wired down to one ohm. I read that there going to be over 1500 $ too. You should decide whether you just want it loud as hell or if you want it to have good sq. I saw the same caddy with 4 w7 and a jl1000/1 for each sub on another site. If you got the money you can have a sick system. I'd but a couple of the rockford amps if I had the money.

Need more info before I can recommend a course of attack for you. Things like budget, type of music, space available for sub box, what you want this to look like......

sorry about not amswering these posts sooner but i have been busy as heck building this system. i did not have much time to think of a system, i only had three days to compleat it. i wound up going with three L7's and one BD 1001. i built a tunnel box, i mean a box containing a sealed box with the subs firing at the rear of the truck bed, with the the port facing the front. so that all the preasure exits strait into the vehicle. i just came in from the garage to rest (it's 5:30 a.m.) it sounds pretty good but i think i should have used 1" mdf instead of 3/4 because it has kind of a wierd sound. i do not know if it's because i used 15's instead of 12's? well it's to late now, the moneys spent and the time is spent. hope the guy likes it. i still have to tune the stuff but it's to erly in the morning. i also used a EPICENTER, any tipps on tunning? well nice chating with you guys but i REALY need some sleep.
