possible setup - opinions needed

Heres what I plan on getting, I need some opinions on what you guys think of this setup. Im going thru best buy only because my friend works there and gets a huge discount, so please dont reccomend something other than what I can get from there in the way of subs/amps.

Heres what Im looking at right now

Setup 1 - 2 10s

Subs (2 of them) - http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...3015&scat=3013

Amp - http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...3015&scat=3012

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Setup 2 - 1 12''

Sub (just one) - http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...3015&scat=3013

Amp - http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...3015&scat=3012



Alright, those are the setups I had help on picking from to make.... If anyone can help me with input on those, it would be greatly appreciated, or if you think of a better combo from best buy, please help.

Finally, Im going to need a box for the subs, I have t-tops in my car, and I was looking at the millhouse box for the 2 10s or 1 12, but my friend said that the air space would not be too great for the subs I am looking at, I need some help with this so if anyone could please help it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

I vote setup 1 also...I've heard two 10 he2 they are mean...not sure where you friend said they need air from what I've see the 10s can perform in this range: sealed box volume 0.375-1.75 cubic feet, ported box volume 0.75-1.75 cubic feet...I'm thinking they would sound great in a milhouse. But I'm not totally sure on the air space it has...that would be a question for Megabass

Correct you are. The Rockfords work great in the milhouse. It's actually one of the subs I recommend besides say the alpines and JLs. In fact, I have tons of guys using two HE2s in the milhouse and it kicks very hard.

In between the two setups I'd choose number 1... Unless best buy happens to carry Adire Audio? lol J/K NEwayZ, yah, for a little bump there is nothing wrong at all with this set up. I installed a set in a 1999 Chevy single cab, and it bumped pretty hard. I was kinda impressed.

I wonder if it's going to make a difference since the driver side stealth is .5 and the pass side is .7cu ft?

Not a whole lot. The passenger side will bump a lil louder that's all. You could always fill in the space if needed.

guess you could use some poly fill on the driver side to make up for the difference.
