How much do you want to spend?


There are much much better subs out there for the same price that bestbuy sells them for.

My friend had 3 12 inch alpine type R's with a 1600 watt amp and it was crazy loud and sounded great.

If I were to get subs all over again, I would choose 1 18" solo x or an orion, or the best re audio sub 15". I figure more room and just have a custom box flush with the trunk instead of a gay box with 2 subs.

its because they say JL audio on them and have been around a while.

I personally think they sound like ****. almost like someone is farting to the music

agree'd....i mean, im just not one to sacrifice a DECENT amount of SQ for SPL, and even IF i wanted ridic SPL i'd rather have some Fi's, DD's, or an MTX 9500
