So you guys are saying the loudest I can possibly go is 1 L7?

By the way, my friend just got his subs in his impala ss. They're like 2 10" alipine subs. He has 2 seperate boxes with 2 seperate amps. But anyways, when I was outside of the car it sounded so bad. Like the whole car was shaking and making a horrible noise. Is that what all subs sound like outside the car?

You don't have the budget to do a proper spl setup.

Up your budget to 2500-3k then you can do it

Exactly. It won't happen with the money you budgeted for a system.

Find out what the ohm load of the sub is first

If it's a dual 2 ohm then maybe i can piece something together for you

Keep saving for now.

Doing it right once: $2-3k

Doing it wrong four or five times before doing it right: $1k + $1k + $1k + $1k + $2-3k

I really don't care about quality and all that I just want a system with a ton of good bass that sets off car alarms and I need it soon because I'm not planning on keeping this car for more than 2 years

You mean a system only put together to be obnoxious instead of to make good sound? Yeah, that's a bad thing.

Be sure to budget for noise ordinance violations with a build like that.

Also, budget for new windows and replacement sound systems. Nothing like broadcasting to everyone that you have components worth stealing.
