Arrow Is my setup to much for my car?

I have two kicker s12 l7 subs(2 ohm) but i havent really seen any boxes for this kind of setup for the f-bodies....ive seen one and heard one thing about them and it wasnt good....i dont know first hand so im not going to dog on them....but then again i dont really want to try it and be disappointed.....i have just a regular sealed box for the subs along with a kicker zx1000.1 amp and was considering gettings another one.....i guess my question is would there be enough air space for my subs if i were to get a box built without it being huge i want something that fits where my t-tops go.....everything is still in the boxes that it was purchased in along with the warranties to the subs and amp......i also considered sellings it all( the two subs the amp and the box) so if anyone has any suggestions or is interested in it just let me know

I have 2 x 15" L7's in my car and I think it was well worth the money I spent on them, in fact I would have paid more now after having them. You can't ask about it being to much, because everyone is going to have different opinions on that, you should know if its to much for you once you hear it in your car, personally I'd put 2 x 18" L7's in my car if I had the money. In my opinion its never enough. It can always be louder. As far as boxes you are probably best off getting the t-top box from http://www.subthump.com/acamarottop.htm (I have heard very good things about them and many people on this board will vouch for them. With it you can have your subs back their and still store your t-tops, mine are in the back seat because rarely does anyone ride in the back of my car and if its more than 1 person riding with me and we are going a long way, I just borrow my dads lincoln, bc moving the subs in and out of the car is a pain in the ***.

www.subthump.com is the way to go. IF you didn't buy the amp yet, get the zx1500.1. Those subs will handle 750rms all day long. The zx1000.1 will put out aruond 600rms per sub, they are underated.
