http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3689_Metra-82-6901.html 2 sets of these

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22347_The-Install-Bay-VXT65.html for some added water protection if you want. it's best to cut the bottom side out if you purchase these because the speaker is designed to work free air and these cut the air off.

http://www.knukonceptz.com/ this is where i'd suggest getting all the wiring from.

if you want to avoid ordering it all to specifically fit your needs just order a 0 gauge an 4 gauge amp kit. KCA kits are copper clad aluminum which is cheaper but still fine for what you're doing.

big 3 wire will be 1/0 gauge power wire. you will actually only need to replace 2 of these 3 wires since the battery is in the trunk.

talk to the audio shop about this and they should be able to do it for you there. order some http://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/power-wire/kandy-kable/ 6 feet would be plenty to be safe and pick a bright color so you can be damn certain they actually do it because some shops are shady as hell.

the engine block to body ground is the only problematic wire to replace yourself while the others are easy to get at and do it's somewhere down on the side of the car engine lol.

when doing the ground MAKE SURE the paint is removed from the ground spot and its a tight connection. don't let the shop cut corners on grounds and check them before you take the car.

now onto the box lol

you'll need to figure out what kind of tuning you want to go with. you can go recommended specs http://sundownaudio.com/index.php/products/subwoofers/item/sa-series.html or tune the port a bit higher or lower depending on what you want.

a bit more complicated than just RMS wattage.

SA series subs are really more in the 900-1k watt rms range but are underrated by the company.

instead of the q1-1200 would be fine.


@bold

Agreed... I push my 2x SA10's with 750RMS+ watts each daily and they love it. I run the SAZ1500D amp which is underrated. It puts out about 1800 watts at 1 ohm and 14v.

Good thing you have a good budget, those deck harnesses are usually a pretty penny compared to others.

Rockford if you want it to all stay 1 brand. If not listen to Subwoofer. SSA, AQ, DD, DC, etc.
