Good cheap subwoofer on 150RMS

[guacho80 10+ year member]

Hello people, this is my first post in this forum, I have been a lurker for some time, and now that i have saved some money I would like to get a recomendation for a woofer on the following box in the following amp.

I need a 12" woofer.

Box is 1.75 cubes, about 12sq inches of port, don't know the tuning. Amp is a cheap crunch pzi 100.4, 2 channels bridged for "300 dynamic music watts (more like 120-150rms)". Actual sub is a kenwood typhoon kfc-w3010.

I was considering going for either a JL Audio W1-V2, Rockford P1, Kicker Comp. Those are the woofers i had in mind. I want to go as loud as I can with that setup, I dont have the money to upgrade the amp. It is going in the trunk of a toyota echo 4 door.

I am almost sold on the W1v2, but any subwoofers that will sound louder than it on 150watts would be appreciated.

thanks in advance for the help.

welcome...

of your sub choices, i like the w1 or the kicker(not a p1 fan)

the tuning of your box will determine how loud and at what frequencies. you can do some math with the volume, port area and length to figure out what the tuning is

I had kicker comp and is a little nice sub.

That kicker does well. if yo can find a w1 though, i would go with that one. some pretty good SQ IMO

Search for a ascendant audio assassin, would be nice in your setup.

So, it would be between the comp and the w1v2, in 1.75 cubes. Thanks for the replies and information.

Dayton Quatro would be perfect.
