S650 Aftermarket Sound System

I plan on getting 2 Sundown SA-Classic 10's in a ported box with a Sundown SALT 2 amp to power them(1k rms each).
The great thing is they are designed to be in a small ported enclosure, 1 cubic ft ported each.
So I took some measurements in the trunk and looks like I got 35" W X 15" H X 23" D. Depth measurement I stopped near halfway so it can be more for sure.

I plugged in the sub specs into this box building site and this is the build I came up with: https://subbox.pro/en/b/RBo0w0Fdj

It's free and you can save builds when you sign up. Those box specs leave plenty of room in the trunk still. Although, I probably would want a center slot port as personal preference.

The one they showed me at the shop was a 32"W x 12" H x 16" D. I'm thinking it was gonna take up most of my trunk

Well after finding out how much I have on the alternator at 190 amps thinking of doing 2 Ground Zero 10's that are 600RMS each. 1.2K is high as I want to go before I might see any kind of strain on the electrical system.

Damn...do you know if your alternator is 190 amps by chance as well? Or do you have any electrical upgrades done?
Making me have second thoughts and thinking I'll go 1500 watt at least.

i haven’t measured but i’ve been running the system with no problems. you have an AGM battery so it should hold up pretty well to the abuse. i mean the stock system was 1100W too.

B&O

9 speaker system is probably like 270-300W

It is not all about watts.
You can have one speaker playing louder at 100 w than another one at 500 w.
The same subwoofer will play at different volume levels when in a sealed box than in a bandpass configuration.

I have the 6 lol. so its probably way less

I have the 9 Speakers when you include the two tweets in A-Pillars, but no sub in back.

Took the car to the audio shop and they are working up a build. I'll post it and more info on pricing and what was required when I hear back from them.
Plan is Sundown SALT 1.5k D mono amp, and 2 10" B2 Audio Riots in a ported enclosure.
