Hey guys, new to the site and very glad I came accross it. Anyways I just got a new 2008 explorer and have already purchased the following components for my new system I hope to have installed locally.

Kenwood DNX-5120 Nav Head Unit

Kenwood Excelon KAC-X40 4 Channel Amp

Kenwood Excelon KAC-X10D Sub Amp

2 Sets of Polk Audio db571 for the front and rear doors

Rockford Fosgate Dual Amp Kit

MY question come to the subs and the box. I am looking for something that will not absolutely kill be and drown out the music. I listen to pretty much everything buy mostly rap and talk radio. What sub enclosure combo would be best for me? Price really isnt too much of an issue but not looking to break the bank. Thanks so much!

One of my friend recommended me 2 Kenwood 12's model number something along the lines of 3011, I just think that will be too much bass.

So would 1 12 be more ideal for my setup if I am not looking to kill myself, What about 1 ten?

one 10 should sound fine

Good start, does it have a cargo panel in the right rear? My expedition came with a OEM 10'' sub installed there.

 

[rmpagejr3 10+ year member]

I believe it does.

You might could build a small enclosure and install a 10" there. My factory one sounded fine until it finally blew. If you did that you would still have all of your cargo area. Dont know how far you wanna go, but its an idea. There's plenty of 8'' and 10" subs in the classifieds.

I am looking for something that would go well with the amp I already have.

Kenwood Excelon KAC-X10D Sub Amp

I am looking to spend about 250-300 for 1 10. Any suggestions off the top of your head?

Not trying to spam, but the sub in my sig below would suit your needs great. PM me if you are interested

 

[DBBOOM 10+ year member]

New or used or either?

 

[rmpagejr3 10+ year member]

I would prefer new.

Image Dynamics makes a good 10" that would take the power, sound good, and fit in a small sealed enclosure. Would probably be a good compliment to your mids and highs, its a sound quality sub. Would have to shop the online sites for the best deal, prices vary from site to site. Its in your range though. Just look at the options in their line choose the one you like.
