Sorry for the lack of response on my part to your questions.
Two days after my post my car was stolen from the hotel. They finally found the car ,empty. My ins. is replacing everything so I'm happy about that. Anyways to answer your questions, I am going all out spl. This will not be a daily driver. With the different enclousures I've had in the car the peak hz has been between 49-54hz. The subs are dual 2 ohm and here is all the specs for them.

SOLO X 12
SPL 1W/1M - 87.55
Displacement,cc - 5380
Displacement,culn - 328.32
Mounting Depth - 8 9/16"
Revc(coils in series) - 4.090
VC Industance,mh - 4.654
Sd, SqM - .0689
BL - 27.6444
Vas, Liters - 33.1245
Vas, CuFt - 1.1696
Mms, gms - 361
Fs - 37.81
Qms - 10.076
Qes - 0.458
Qts - 0.438
Pmas - 2500RMS/5000Peak
Xmax, mm - 23

Well that is all I have for now. I hope that is helpfully for what you need to help me.

I have already done all of the big 3 work in this car and then some.
I'm just having a hard time getting these subs to perform well. I also have decided to go with another kicker 2500.1 and do 1 amp per sub. Now I just need a kick-as# enclousure and alot of 1 1/2"
plexi for windows haha!

well, i dunno much about subs, enclosures or performance...

may be someone else will be able to help you..

here is the manual from kicker which says something about SPL enclosures, may be that can give u an idea...

I think your 4getting the batteries =). 5000watts RMS your going to need more than just the stock battery. Also do you have an aftermarket alternator installed already? If not, Id highly suggest you get one done b4 you go spending money on another amplifier.

Another thing, Unless you break over 160dB's you wont need any new glass. If the glass is in good order as it is, it will take over 160dB's to break it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is blowing smoke up your behind (assuming there was no defect in the glass).

Are you planning to wall this car? or just a regular box?

My suggestion, Get your electricals, and batteries up to par b4 attempting to go balls out.

Once U get everything up to par, let me know, ill run some numbers through my program when I have time

The enclousure I have installed right now (or should I say had installed) is doing on a good day around 156.2-156.8db and I have already replaced the hatch glass once. Charging system is not a problem. I have a 300 amp h.o alternator,yellow top optima under hood and 4 1200cca kinetik batteries in back. The last comp car we had did way better numbers with alot less effort. 2-15" Kicker L7's, 1-Kicker 1200.1and 1-optima battery all in a trunk(not hatch)doing 158's all day. I strongly believe the problems lye in the enclosure and the tech's at Kicker do too. I don't know if they a being lazy but they say they have not tested the solo x enough to know the best enclousure specs other than a wall. Well I would like to stay in my stock class so that means no wall for me. Any help would help greatly. My shop is really backed up on installs so that leaves me with little time to experiment 10 more boxes. Thank you for your time spent and" DON'T STOP BOOM'N TILL YOU CRACK THE GROUND"
