Personally, I would run 8 12's if you are going for a multi sub setup. That way you can run 4 on each amp. The Rd Classic 12's SVC 4 ohm version would work great on those amps. VERY efficient, clean, and get pretty loud.

my budget depends on a few things.first i need to make up my mind on what size and how many i want to run.then i need to figure out which box to use(ported,sealed,bandpass,or a blowthrough)but to be honest im flexible on the price no matter which way i go,but i dont want to spend 1000 bucks per sub if thats what you're asking.i could i just dont want to because i still want to upgrade my indash dvd,add a center channel(which i'll have to fiberglass a pod for)and plus other cosmetic things and other maintenece issues with the truck! but like i said i'm open to suggestions.i just keeping changing my mind everyday on what subs,how many etc;i have 2 mtx 81001's already but i'm willing to get more if i need.and once again where can i get a 300-350 amp alternator for my truck? thanks again!
