I have a duel 12" Sub Box, what sub and amp combo should I get?

[Eldoggo]

I have a duel 12" sub box. Currently, I have a single 250w 10" sub, so I want to make sure I'll see a big difference with what I upgrade to. What sub and amp combo would work, for a budget of max $230 USD?

What are the specs of the box? You really need a box to match the subwoofers you go with.

Really tough budget though. I would probably buy two Blaupunkt 12s and a Taramps MD1200 2 ohm.

What if I rather get one 12" sub that is better quality? I could sell the dual box. Would I see a big difference in sound between a 10" and a 12"?

Closest I could get. Save a little more and get the XO1244. Wire the 10's up one ohm.

What if I wanted to do one kickass 12" and amp? Then what would I look at?

Not going to get a kickass amp and subwoofer for $230. Cone area is king in budget builds.

What budget should I be looking for to see a big upgrade from my 10"?

At least double what you have.

That would be a massive upgrade from his single 250w 10.

He said he wanted a big upgrade. He could go with the MD1200.1 one ohm version for $20 cheaper. He could also do a single 15" in the dual 12" box with the MD1800.1 one ohm version for $330 total.
