You want SQ that will still be plenty loud, eh? For your $500 budget, listen to Eclipse Aluminum, Infinity Kappa Perfect, JBL, Image Dynamics, Adire Brahama, JL Audio, Diamond, Alpine, or yes, Memphis. There are plenty of others that sound far beter than Kicker Solobarics. If you just want to build a really loud box, Kicker can work fine.

First off you won't know this until you decide which subs and what impedence choices they offer. But WHY 1-ohm??? If you want SQ don't do this to your amp. 2-ohm minimum, 4-ohms is better.

would these work pretty good to use as inverted sub ? and how would you go about figuring out how much airspace is needed to invert ?
