Help me pick out subs

[Radix 10+ year member]

So after getting all my audio equipment stolen, it's time to plan an upgrade.

I have a 1984 firebird. I plan on the Kenwood-KIV-701 head unit with a Pyle ple720p EQ.

Now, I found a box for sale that fits my car, but it's around 1.90 cubic feet per side.

This is extremely large for everything I've found.

Now what I am looking for is Help on picking out the "best" subs for my application.

I want dual 12's. I like a sleek look, and I prefer a good tone an accuracy over anything, but still want to shake the cars next to me.

I listen to pretty much everything. Rap, rock, metal, screamo, dubstep, house, etc etc

What are your suggestions?

Is that enclosure sealed or ported?

I should also add I want them $300 or less each new/used and it's a sealed box

how much power you wanna run and 1 or 2 woofers and what size ?

I said two 12's in the OP.

I don't really care about specific power. As stated something of good quality that can still shake the guy next to me.

you may need to go with a custom ported box

The way my trunk is, a ported box doesn't seem like a reasonable option

1984-1992 Camaro / Firebird F-Body Trunk Box Sub Box - Car Audio

This is the box I wanted to use

Also, what about the ICONs? I'm not sure what the recommended sealed size is

You can fit 2 15" in that box since its 1.92 per chamber, you can do 2 vvx 15 sealed, if you get a bstock they are 170 shipped, just email Kevin if he has b stock, these subs love the lows and this will shake the car next to your car

VVX-15 D4 - $170 Shipped in Lower 48 States

sealed recommended box 1.75-2.5 ft^3

If you are on a budget on amp, you can use the hifonics brz line of amp I would recommend a brz 2400

good luck

I found the RE audio SE X 15 and the precision power ppi Pc.15ds

They fit my box size, which is better? Or is there a better option all together

I wouldn't buy a new RE anything or PPI sub.

SSA Icon would be awesome //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I've always had a thing for them.
