What do you all think about these subs and amps together? or

I was planning on hooking up two subs to each amp. Do you think that these subs will be able to handle a stable 2 ohm load for daily use, and how do you suggest I throw these six subs into my 93' Camry? I'm sure I'll need a custom box to get the best sound quality from them, but ported or not? Raammat60 everything.

93 camry does have enough volume to really make those subs perform. you can however run them sealed with the volume that the trunk has without the spare tire with a fiberglass box, did 8 12in gtos last yr in a 92 camry. have to search at the shop for the pics. as it is though just make sure you get a good sq deck and never go cheap on wires man, from world finals to you. its not hard to make it to world finals now adays, and besides world finals for db drag is usally at the 1x center in cleveland. with that equipment you can get there. thats a good daily driver setup match anyways

I think that with this application, a good SQ deck is the last of his worries.

Six subs on three amps should work well provided you wire them up right and dont over/under power them. However, I think pushing all that wattage will drain your electrical system. Unless you're dead set on using it all, you might think about dropping 4 subs and 1 amp (only keeping 2 subs and 2 amps) in order to maintain your current electrical system.

1 DVC driver with Voice Coils in Series
Connecting the two voice coils of the driver in series (+ to -) will result in the following impedances:
Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofer: 12 Ohms
Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 8 Ohms
Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofer: 4 Ohms
Dual-1.5 Ohm Subwoofer: 3 Ohms


Based on that wiring diagram, if you can wire one sub into a series wiring scheme, you can wire the subs to 4 ohms and give each one 500 watts (allowing for some overhead to play with). That way, you only have to look into making dual sub enclosures (or a single large enclosure) and essentially have less to worry about if something goes wrong (and you'll have backups incase something does go wrong).

That would be my suggestion.
