[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 8787723, member: 629234"] given those box store sub choices, id go with type r. the older, the better, but really, i would go with 8's, and sundown 8's, MAYBE 10's.. i know the general rule of thumb is that lower powered subs make more volume with less power, but efficiency changes with manufacturers. the sundown, even if it has a much higher rms rating, is going to put out more on the same power than a box store driver. i can attest to this first hand in a personal shootout of different subs. the sundown, hands down put out way more clean bass on the same 100 or 200watts rms of the same amp, in the same enclosure, even being under powered. bigger issue is corrosion resistance, which means you want to avoid paper/pulp and untreated steel. a jl would bepretty good, or maybe just a kicker marine model, but then again, you leave something on the table for efficiency. at such a low price, its worth giving sa a try. worst case, they fall victim to miosture and you buy something that wont in a couple years.
