Help with system setup (subs and amp)

[icedbimmer]

I am thinking about 2 12" subs. Are Alpine Type-R's or Infinity Perfects pretty good? I mostly listen to R&B and Club type music. So I'd want something that would hit hard and deep.
The car is a BMW 325is. I would like to go with a sealed box to save space. I just bought a JBL1200.1 amp to power whatever subs I get.
Any Suggestions?

both have very very good SQ...with pretty good SPL. You would be happy with either of these subs. I would say go with the perfects. But, if you find a better deal on the alpines...go with them

adire shivas

Yeah, I figured someone would come out and say those. I wish those subs would have some type of design on them.
I thought about the Shivas but I need some subs that look better since I will be doing a show type install.
****, tough decision.

Yeah, I'm thinking about painting them or make them look better somehow. Would the JBL1200.1 be a good amp for two 12" Shivas? How should I wire them and how much RMS wattage would be going into each?
Thanks.

straight parrallel and email adire to send you the parts (like the basket and back plate ) so u can get it done up before they put it together

[icedbimmer]

Parallel wiring is where the negative runs to every negative post and the positive runs to every positive post, right?
So I would end up with a 1 0hm load, therefore be pushing about 300 watts into each sub, right????
Thanks.
