Adire Shiva's are a nice SQ sub and Phoenix makes a nice amp.Good choice there.What model and make phoenix are you going to run?And I can already tell you that the Shiva 12's will need at least 3.5 cubes total to run loud and efficient,I would usually aero port the box with 3 inch pipe about 10 in. long for 3.5 cubes.Or I would slot port it(which causes huffing) if you don't get it right.And on your mids and highs any Phoenix two or four channel will suffice,also your stock head unit will need an RF adapter to connect amps,they are cheap at any car audio store.It has a remote wire and RCA plugs that plug into your harness.Let me know if you need any help,I am a long time car audio competitor.
