12" sub recommendations

[Old School Fool]

Hello all,

I wanted to get some input on subs for my installation. I havent been active in car audio since the early 90's, but I did manage to keep a lot of my old school amps and would like to use those since they are free. The amp I want to use is an old Rockford Fosgate Power 300 Mosfet. I think that should be enough power to drive 2 - 12" subs in a sealed enclosure firing downward. I should have no problem getting 1.5 -1.75 ft3 per sub.

What subs do you recommend? There are so many now I dont have the knowledge you guys do so I am open. Budget is up to $500 for the pair. I know the amp puts out a lot more than it states because I hooked it up to my neighbors 2 Alpine subs and they are now deceased.

Thanks in advance for your help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

If you can get 2ft^3 for each sub look into the Dayton Reference HF at partsexpress...gives you a f3 around 35hz outside of vehicle. Also look into the Mach 5 IXL for sealed apps, they can work in smaller boxes around 1.5ft^3 or so.
