On the Pioneer side they offer a couple different options. If you're looking to save some space with such a large subwoofer setup, have a look at the Premier TS-SW124D 12" sub that's less than 4" in depth:

Or for outstanding performance for the price & a great cosmetic look if you're showing them off in your install, check out the Premier TS-W3004SPL (dual four ohm voice coils) or TS-W3002SPL (dual two ohm voice coils):

http://www.pioneerelectronics.ca/pna...130046,00.html

The power you're describing will work better with the TS-SW124D but will push the SPL series OK too. Good luck & have fun shopping!

If your in abbotsford,why dont you go visit Rob muxlow (or dukk on the weekend)at Future shop. let them show you the MTX mxs12"s.Ive never been a big fan of MTX, but these subs work great. Its worth a listen, and it wont cost you anything.
If you need someone to build your enclosure,I know Robs custom work is amazing!

What amp are you running, the subs need to be optimized to the amp. Why on earth someone did not pick that up before recommending any sub is beyond me.

Why do you need to run 4 12" subs?

I have an extra cab 93 Yota and I have more than enough bass (for daily driving) and is still a good SQ system.

A pair of tens or a good single twelve with the power your talking about should give you what your asking for.

Like Rob said....more info about what other gear your using will help in recommending a good subwoofer/s.

More is always better............. Mo bass!!! I had a Mazda Extended cab 4X4 a long time ago and went with 2x15" and still yearned for more. But I was looking for silly loud and that was well over 15 years ago. Anyways, either you're looking to get really nice and loud or your experiences with 4x12" from what you've heard has been less then stellar. 4x12" should RIP your head off "IF" the design and installation is done properly. 1500 watts is plenty of power but as was mentioned, you'll have to find subwoofers to work with that sort of power. Lots of good stuff out there though.
