what you looking for i have some equipment for sale. what do you have in mind for sound? i would think you are wanting a groundpounder with that type of car. take 1g for electrical upgrades and wiring so 3g left i have 2 amps that would burn up almost half of that alone. almost 7000w of real power.

i would do 2 15 fi btl or 2 15 dc lv4xl and possibly 2 15 tc 5200 any of those on 2 my rd3250.1 will pound like crazy!!! take a 14cf box tuned at 28-30hz will be low and loud that will also leave ledtover change for a nice deck and comp. sets. of course the the sub depicts the box.

I've done an install with a single 10 tsx in a benz clk convertible and of course it was louder with the top up but still sounded great with the top down.
