    With that much power, I'd like to see thicker mdf in the box. I'd look into having one made for you, or doing it yourself. Are your doors at least deadened? Those comps will love you if you deaden up your doors a bit.

    Your amp is rated at 375 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (750 watts x 1 at 2 ohms) I suggest you go with 4ohm woofers so that you can run at 2 ohms mono. Otherwise you will have to wire your woofers in series for a 4 ohm load.

    A well built ported box and you will be happy with your components.

    where are you getting two CVR's for $99? Also did you mean dual 2ohm for them as well, I didnt think they came just as a 2ohm but I dont know much about kicker at all.

    I already have the Probox for the 10's.....will the box really make that much of a difference? And i can get dvc 4ohms if that would work better.

    Dual 4-ohm subs can be wired to either 2 or 8 ohms... When those two are wired together, then you'll have either 4, 1, or 16 ohms... None of which is what you should probably shoot for. Go with the dual-2-ohm subs.

    Oops, sorry. Read your post to fast. The CVR's are dual voice coil. The two ohms will work well for you. If you wire each in series and then parallel to each other, you will get a two ohm load at the amp. The box makes all the difference.
    Where are you getting two 10" CVR's for $99?
