[QUOTE="modskwod, post: 6839922, member: 604186"] First piece of advice I'm gonna give you: Don't worry about specs too much. Some companies post the wrong specs on their sites and don't particularly care. What you need to look for is good quality parts. After a while you get a feel for it, but a good indicator of quality is in the small stuff. Stitched surrounds, cast frames (on non-entry level subs, stamped frames is common on entry-level), and cones made from pressed paper or carbon fiber all play a factor. Another indicator of lower quality subs is a covered up magnet. Not a magnet boot, those are common, but a magnet covered in plastic so you can't see what it really looks like is an indicator of more concern over appearance than quality. *cough*kicker RE rockford fosgate*cough* I could go on and on about things to look for/ not look for, but if you're looking for good quality subs, I suggest Sundown, Digital Designs, Audioque, DC, Sound Solutions Audio, and Incriminator.
