Out of curiosity why the two amps requirement? is this one of those 4/8 Ohms and 2 Ohms thing or you have something in mind for a future boom box?

I had the small mono amp already to use for just the door subs. Figured while i was in there just get rid of the factory amp and use a larger 4 channel amp for the fronts and rears. Im trying to talk my wife into letting me try out a larger sub in the frunk.

Gotcha on the amps. Sub in the frunk won't work I'm pretty sure, freq will be absorbed by the body more than anything and you'll end up with a nasty humming all across. Unless you drive this at 25+ Amps/current then, dunno, could be fun

See if you can fit one of those low-profile 8" sub, e.g. Kicker w/ built-in 150W Amplifier. Just shim the passenger seat +1 inch up and be done with it (I'm only guessing here).

ps. that cabin is pretty damn small, watch out for the high dB for long duration bro

How do those earthquake shallow mount subs sound in the doors? What kind of power are you sending to them? Do the stock speaker enclosures provide enough volume for them to move any air?

Honestly not really happy with them. Fill the mid-bass ok, but not as loud as I would have thought. Have 75 clean rms watts from a punch amp going to each. I think the air volume is plenty, they move well just small size and nothing to reflect off of.

If I had it to do over would either try a 6.5 inch kicker sub that I think would be louder, or a good pair of coaxials or full range. The 4inch speakers don’t sound very full when loud.
