Just looking for any positive or negative opinions for the following set-up:

4 MTX 6000 12s (not top-line subs, but decent IMO)

2 mounted in rear well area in 1.75 cu ft enclosures (sealed) with top-plate about 3 in above rear-end hump

2 mounted where rear seat once resided (also in 1.75 cu ft enclosures) facing up, also with the top-plate about 3" above the hump

Amps mounted on rear-end hump with a cover board mounted flush to the top of the sub enclosures (will have plexi over amps with neon highlighting, but that's for a different post)

Undecided on amps so far. I had been using a pair of Kenwood KAC728S amps, each one bridged to 1 ch to power a single MTX. I'd like to step up to 4 subs, and also step up the power a little. The Kenwoods only put out 150x2 into 2 ohm. Any recomendations for amp(s)? Would it be better to go for one that would pump about 300x1 into 1 ohm, or two the put out about 300x1 into 2 ohm? For the record, I have an AutoTek 4x100 for mids/highs that will need to share space on the hump. Thanks for any input you guys have, and sorry for the novel, but my scanner died, so I don't have any sketches or pics

as for amps, I recently bought a phoenix gold and couldn't be happier w/ it. i have the XS2300 which is rated as follows:
2x75 watts @ 4 ohms
2x150 watts @ 2 ohms
1x300 watts @ 4 ohms

I have 2 MTX 5000 10's, which are bridged into 4 ohms so the amp pushes 300 watts....let me tell you they SLAM! i dont have the amp cranked all the way up and one of the subs is approaching early death. they test each amp and include the test sheet w/ it. even though mine is rated @ 300 watts it actually puts out 321. it is stable into 2 ohms bridged and also it isnt that big, 7"x9.25"
so you might be able to fit 2 of these and another amp on the hump.
