Need some help configuring a sound system.
Alright, please help me out as I am new to all of this aftermarket sound setup.
I have researched a lot "searching" and googling stuff, just the last few questions.
I am defiantly buying the zenclosure dual 10" box.
Question 1:
2 JL 10w6v2 for only .7 cubes of air space
or?
Question 2:
I dont have enough money for 2 500/1 amps, will 1 be enough for both of them? Cheaper AMP would be better that is similar in quality (Kicker?)
Question 3:
I did not want to buy an extra amp for the front speakers, which should I buy? I would attatch them to the avh-p6800dvd I have, and I was thinking of leaving the stock speakers in the back.
Question 4: Would I need 1" spacers from zenclosures?

1. .7 cub feet is way too small for two 10w6
2. you dont need to have JL if you are budget limited, there are other brands that work
3. having an amplifier powered from spekaer IMO is more important having more bass for overall sound quality.
4. that depends on speaker but sure get it
my suggestions:
1. gow tih a single sub, and really not something as expensive as say a 10w6, something in the range of 150-200 bucks will do fine. 10w3, elemental 11ov.2...etc
2. get a good but cheaper amp to power everything, for example elemental nine2 will provide a solid 4-500 watts to the sub for 215 new...
3. get a set of decent front sepakers, something that can take a bit of power...price range int he 150-250 if you are budget limited
4. get a small 2 channel to throw 50 watts at the fronts...

get the zenclosure with the amp rack. it has .70 cu. ft per chamber, this will be almost perfect for 2 10W6v2.

use a JL 1000/1 to run them
if your upgrading your fronts, you should get an 2 channel amp.
just disconnect the rears, you dont need them

Well see, I dont think I have enough money for 2 10w6 and the 1000/1 jl amp.
What about 2 10w3's and a 500/1 JL AMP? Will that work?
This is how I put together my system under a budget, and it sounds great IMO, like someone above said, get a amp to power the front speakers is VERY important to good clear sound. As for bass, remember the Z is a small interior car so one 10" sub is plenty of power IMO.
This is how much everything costs me, excluding the head unit.
Don't want to sound like a advertisement so I'm gonna leave out the model # of the equipments I bought.
Phoenix Gold, 4 ch amplifier: $136
Kicker, mono channel: $99.00
MB Quart components: $160
Kicker 10" sub: $120
Scosche amplifier wiring kit: $15
50 amp fuese x 2: $5
ZEnclosure for a single 10": $110
total: $645, for a sound system I consider very satisfying and in some case even a little too loud for my taste.

Ok I found the strutbar on Ebay, its only one 10" sub, will this be enough, I dont want anything like hardcore crazy loud but enough to pack a punch,
What would be the best 10" sub for that hole? Maybe an Alpine type R with the amp being a JL 500/1? Would that work?

the strut bar one on ebay is different than his "stealth type box" he just finished making these. I think I got the first one (other than the one in his car)

That one?
Also, would you get the 1022D apline type R or the 1042D one?
