anyone here running multiple woofers in their trunk?

i have a civic coupe and ive tried single and double sub setups; but never trio. i have a single ID12v3 D-2 woofer in the trunk and was thinking buying 2 more and pair them up with a 1ohm stable amp (so they'll run at 1.33ohms). in a sealed box off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/TRIPLE-12-inch-3...QQcmdZViewItem . i want to keep the ID12 cause they sound great as is and im looking to achieve more spl and output.

has anyone here ran 3+ subwoofers? was it worth the investment?

move up to a better sub instead of adding more. i use to run three type r 12's ported, now i am running 2 orion h2 15's at 0.5ohm on a orion 2500d. puts out b/w 2500-3000 watts, also have a deep cycle int he trunk. those id's are good for sound quality but don't have enough output. look into a single 15 or a pair of good 12's.

Get two Alpine Type-X 12" or Three 10" and a couple huge amps and your golden.

OR

Get a true 22 and 4 amps. LOL

Try a pair of 13w7's and 2 1000/1's, that'd be plenty. Seriously though, unless you're looking to compete don't you think it's a bit overkill?

reason why i wanted to stick with the ID12 is because it has great SQ and their on sale for 1 bill a piece at cardomain.

i dont plan to compete, but just trying to get more output and spl while keeping the SQ these woofers give. i plan to run factory electricals (done big-3 already) so my amp isnt gonna be too big (true 1000rms). that way, i could give the woofers enough juice and put them at their potential.

Go W7 or save a buck and go W6V2. They'll make you deaf in no time.
