The subs are only rated to 500w so the amp is a little under rated but pretty close. I was thinking just throwing the one remaining sub into my winter beater and starting fresh like an elemental designs 13Av.2 D2 + NINe.1 or something in a proper ported box. Looks pretty good and is cost effective. The bass bug hit me want to go louder haha.

Yeah just like everything else in life guess thats why im so poor. So what would sound better and louder two twelves and 800w in a smaller box or one 12 and 1200w in a proper sized box? I tried making two seperate boxes to the proper specs and there was no way to get them in had to cut some off each then hammer them through the trunk opening but they looked terrible so i built that box. The trunk opening is 45"x 14" but it is a weird shape kind of like a mouth.

personally id say wall off that trunk if u dont use it wall it off for 2 12s have an amp rack in the back and go from there that way the seat can fold and not hit the sub id suggest a slot port , or go with a smaller box

I don't know what you guys are doing, but I have 2 10" Clarion signature series subs. They are rated 1000rms each. They are getting 1000rms each and have been abused since February. Including 14 SPL competitions this year playing 39hz test tones at full volume with gains and boost turned WAY up. NO problems whatsoever. I have no problems with suggesting Clarion speakers to anyone as I also have a 6.5" component set in my front doors rated 150rms. These are getting 230rms each and take it all day even with xover down to 70hz. Blew the first set I had but that was due to a 30-65hz sweep during a comp and forgot to shut them off first. Waranty replacement within 48 hours. 
I love my Clarion products and will not hesitate to purchase more in the future.

Very proud of it thanks. For 2-10s at the time only getting 1100rms total in an SQ car in a box tuned at 34.5hz not too bad at all. This is not an SPL 1 note wonder fart machine here. I have several SQ trophies as well as DbDrag and Bassrace. How loud do you think it should be????
