any suggestions?

going from 4 subs to 1 10 or 12 inch. im thinking a mtx 9500 since i'm an mtx loyalist but just wondering if theres better bang for my buck. from what i understand they handle more power better but the sq is inferior....

ya the mtx 9500 is no bueno. if anything the TS 85 is a better choice

look at Digital designs. a 3500 12 in a good box will do some damage

speaking of which need some box building tips lol, not to sound like scrub but i've always gotten mine prefabed....

also whats your opinion of Fi audio? my friends got a 15" Q series one thats pretty sick. i just don't want to sacrifice the space i'm sacrificing now.

i dont know what you guys are talking about, the mtx 9500 is a badass sub, they are a little bit pricey but you get what you pay for

lol last one we had at the shop we threw away in the dumpster

DD 2500 would smash the MTX 9500 and thats not even pulling out the DD 3500, 9500, 95Z, Z

im also pretty confident the TS85 we had in the fared port box was louder then the mtx 9500

word but wouldn't that be too much for 1 BTL @ 2000 RMS if i went with the 20001bd instead of the 15001bd or 10001bd?

too much is a relative term. as long as your signal is clean your electrical can handle it and your box is good then you should be fine.
