depends on what size you want. SPL or SQ? I have a 10" elevation audio sub, and I like it. Retails for around $100.00 ea. go to www.elevationaudio.com and you can check for dealers. you can also try to find detroitbass over at 6th sphere, he used to sell elvation, he might be willing to help.

sorry, i was looking into 10"s.

im a little lost on the termonolgy, SPL? im guessing SQ = Sound Quality?

thanks for the help

Alright, I know all these are selling for over $160, but on each company's website you should be able to find a lower-end sub that will still hit hard and sound great for a fair price that fits your budget.

SPL = Sound Pressure Level
SQ = Sound Quality

etronics.com has some good deals on their subs, 15's start at $29.99 and 18's start at $64.99. They have a good selection of subs from alot of manufacturers like MTX, Kicker, Kenwood, Pioneer, Cerwin Vega and more. They even have a thing that will tell you what will fit you're car and what won't. Here's the link http://www.etronics.com/mysearchcat....tid=299&store=

wow, you guys are good lol

thanks for all the help

*edit: might sound silly but if peak power is 1000w and RMS is 200w while my amp gives 300w will it still be okay, as long as i am nowhere near the peak?

99sc2ner · 01-04-2007, 11:55 PM

It should be fine, I like to run my systems about 50-100 watts over the RMS power anyways.

If a subwoofer advertises 1000W Peak and 200W RMS, it's most likely not worth your time. The only manufacturers that do that are fleamarket garbage subs... Sony is included in that...

Pyle, Legacy, Lanzar, American Pro, Boss, Volfenhag, Pyramid... They're all junk for the most part. Sony's car audio has gone down the drain in years past due to having an inflated ego. They're thinking they can get away with selling garbage for fluffed up prices.

Pioneer's lower-end products aren't all that great (namely subwoofers). Pioneer's high-end stuff however, is quite nice, especially the head units.

The 10" sub that Techun posted gets great reviews and is priced very nicely.

If your amp is rated to put 300W RMS into 2 Ohms, go with a DVC 4 Ohm subwoofer in the 250-400W range. If it puts 300W RMS into 4 Ohms bridged, get a SVC 4 Ohm woofer in the same power range.
