is this a good sound system

I was wondering if this is a good sound system
2 12" Fi btl subs
8 Re 5fr speakers
Alpine INA-W900
Blitz bze10a equalizer
2 Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bd amplifiers
2 Rockford Fosgate p400-4 amplifiers

Also what type and size of an enclosure should I get

If you can help me out that would be great

Not much trunk space and you'll need some serious electrical upgrades

Serious electrical .. serious deadening! You won't get a huge box in it. I suggest a BTL 15" in 4 cubes on 2-3k. Can you even get HD alt's for those? 4k+.. you forgot 3 batts and 2 alts. Are you blasting blues brothers or what?

As said above, you'd be better off with 1 BTL and 1 good amp.

Measure it and let us know. You can use blankets and egg cartons for deadening but everyone raves about secondskinaudio.com, they have everything you need. The difference in cone area between 2 12's and a 15" is an 8" driver or 50 square inches, it's not much and the 15 has +3 db efficiency over the 12. It'd be better to have a 15 in 4 cubes than 2 12's in the same space, not to mention -2000w. That's going to be hell on a tempo.

Thought they were all extinct.

Guess your going for a bumpin' jellybean

Dynamat Xtreme is a good sound deadener to use. Light and does the job well.
