those D5000's are thirsty suckers dude,make sure to use fat power cables and maybe a yellow or red top battery from optima.whats the rms and ohm's on your subs?you may need another D5000 to power both seperately.

I've had a change in plans I'm selling the 2 Orion xtr-pros and buying 1 15" hcca and going to fit 0gauge wire and a sealed battery maybe an optima depending on funds I've got to sell my to subs before I buy the hcca anyway but well see how it goes

Wot do u recommend  sealed or ported, wot will be breath taking lol

all depends what music your into-sealed are for like pop music,fast and punchy bass also the enclosures are small, and you get better sound qc beacause the sub dont travel as much up and down (excursion) as the ported box

i prefer the ported box-for all the hiphop and r&b or bass tracks,slow and deep bass ftw but the enclosures are bigger.

ported=breath taking

sealed=gay   :grin: :grin:
