Have a real good hard long look at the DD subs, you can't go wrong with them for a application like the one you are listing.

The charging system is not up to par, thats why he has another post about it...I have recomended a very very large alternator.
I would follow buy saying Kicker L7's or DD. Could also look into RE

Ditch the bandpass....build a decent ported box and run 4 l7's and they will last all day. The new 06 L7's (A Pair) will take 3000 daily......Even the old L7 12's will take a kx1200.1 per sub for daily use if set up correctly, and kept from clipping

i dno about you but i have 2 13w7's in my car just sealed and it barely fits in the trunk i dont know how you would do 2 13w7's in a ported/bandpass box. also what kind of amp is your 3000 watt? because 13w7's run at a 1.5 ohm so you shuold check if ur amp is stable at that and how effecient the amp is. also you may want to think about putting in 2 or 3 more batteries ive heard 1 battery per 1000 watts. i currently am using 2 batteries and my main starter battery running under a 240 amp alternator and it seems to be working fine. i am running 2450 total watts right now.
