Nobody will be able to offer much advice without a great deal more info from you on what you're wanting out of your system, what your budget is, and so on....

Do you already have an amp? What is your budget?

Here are a few things you will get asked to help you out.

1. What is your budget

2. What size sub are you looking for?

3. How much power(what amp) will you be using

4. What type of enclosure...this makes a huge difference in many cases.

I'm just looking for a good sounding bass.. clean bass.. and that won't blow out on me... I'm hearing JL is a good company... and pioneer, probably 10-12 inches... i only want one sub so probably 1200 watt

Jl is great if you find it cheap. They do well with low power but are not going to blow you away. The W6 is still one of the best sounding subs on the market but if your looking into the kenwood i dont see it in your budget. Look at SSA's DCON.

That Kenwood is NOT 1200 watts. Dont EVER look at max ratings

Forget watts right now and decide on what type if enclosure u plan to use, and budget for sub and budget for amp after wiring costs and all

Well, I'm sorry. Then there is not much to help you with until you answer those questions. Not sure what to tell you on that one.
