Default sub and amp setup what you guys think?...

sub and amp setup what you guys think?...it has a 2600 watt power acustic amp, a 3 frade cap., 2 12" cadence 750 watt rms sub's in a oversized t-top drop box. and the amp and cap is setup on a custom platform. i was thinking about selling it to get headers and true duals since i rather have speed then sound. plus this **** is loud as ****.

Did you do all the work yourself? That's the only way I could see selling it being beneficial.... even then, who invests (time and $) in a serious system like this and turns around to sell it immediately? Or have you had this for some time now? Just curious...

no i bought the car really cheap and i really have no need for such a system. my last trans am i only had one 10" JL with a 150 zapco amp and that was more then enough for me. the kid had about 50 neons in the dam thing, i just want to go fast..... i was thinking about adding a Type R sticker to add a couple horsepower... you think that would work lol

I see - I would go ahead and sell it then if you really don't want or need it. IMO, money is better spend elsewhere. Sounds like you're best off with a stealth box maybe around 300 Wrms to the sub of your choice. Or you can build a box for a single 12" (I went that route) and keep both the subs - then you'll always have a spare. Just all depends on what you can sell what for and what people want. You're best selling each thing (amp, box, etc) individually... but it may take some time.
