If they're rated at 615w RMS, I'd have thought that 500w RMS continous would be fine to be honest.

they are rated at 700/750W depending on which shop you look in, dont know where the extra 50W comes from tbh, but obv they are overated as of only being able to handle 615, still not bad power handling though i reckon

we'll see what happens anywho, ill run em on 500 and if they blow up ill go for something more powerful to replace them

Saw a civic at a cruise last night with 2 4000W RMS Audiobahn subs, at least thats what he said lol, and its was stupidly loud for bass, no trebel though

I've heard mixed things about Audiobahn though, mostly bad! I'd only go with JL Audio or RE Audio as I've heard them first hand and they are quality.

Well for the lower base and upper base we cut the mdf to the approx overal size with a lil extra on the edges here and there

Then it was a matter of lining it up the best we could, cut it n test - kept this process going until it fitted.

Make sure u cut off less rather than more as you can always sand or cut a lil more off if need be rather than cutting off a large piece n finding you've messed up.

It took some doing - we spent a saturday doing it between 3 of us - did start out as 2 but one of the other lads turned up and help us out

Thanks for the tips, yes a bit at a time, in other non car projects, ive cut more off than needed and was very annoyed when going to check for size lol

To be honest I would agree, for the money the guy had spent on it or how much the stuff was worth (not sure if he got it free from AB) it didnt sound that impressive

Ok its was massivly loud but when your running that kind of power it will be, the car had a 620A alternator ffs, but the sound quality was no where near as good as some others ive herd such as JL audio

Alpines new C2 also sounds MUCH better and the airbrush paintjob is immense

SQ Plus's C2

I don't think it's actually Alpines just has they're audio.
