Is two 12's too much?
I'm getting my brother-in-law to install two 900 watt 12" subs in my trunk. 
Just wondering if it was too much. We're building the enclosure today around noon. Am I going overboard with the twelve's?

They're in! Got up at 11 am, headed to Home Depot. Bought some MDF 3/4" wood. Liquid Nails, and some heavy duty screws. Went downtown bought a 1600 watt amp and then this happened...
Started the project at around 1 pm and finished around 8 pm.

Depends on what you want to hear. If you want a good quality sound, yes. If you want to shake things, and trip car alarms like those queer civic kids who cruise my neighborhood at 2 am, no.

If you want to setup off alarms, just put a good exhaust on...my FC sets of car alarms non-stop, those things are worthless.
Off-topic, but related, gonna be putting 2 800W 10s in my wife's car, but my RF amp was blown from the factory so I'm waiting for that to come back. Has anyone heard setup like this?

sheesh...bass heads...
i guarantee my 2 8W3v2's sound many times better and hit just as hard as all your 12's and 15's...that's to much unless your into what has been mentioned above (attention getting) or SPL comps...
too each their own though...but damn...that box for those 15's...HEAVY!!!
