[QUOTE="shredder1, post: 8910995, member: 658920"] This ^^^^... I'd focus more on decent not expensive gear and focus on install myself. I've had great luck with many of the subs/brands you listed but your list was like an encyclopedia and I'm not a brand nuthugger anyway. I'd grab whatever is in your budget and then plan your power... not necessarily matching the rms rating. I've helped various users from the planning stage and when designing an enclosure with lets say a 1000w sub certain factors are easily apparent to the designer who can advise next regarding amp size at whatever loading is planned. Then grab a design, DIY the thing and install everything else. No hate for brands here (boss audio rules!.. haha) I've seen a pair of SDR-12's actually stun the user on 1500w. I thought it was meh... but I hadn't realized this was slammin' to him. Point of view and experience matters. Bottom line is to seek out someone trustworthy and local to you who can see your car, speak to you directly and advise you. Beware the salesman type that just happens to be slinging what he's recommending unless your American Express knows no limits... haha. I'd ask around locally about FB groups and possibly how to join a local one. My experience says that someone will help. Avoid the groups who have a brand in their name, stay local. [/QUOTE]
