Okay, I am dizzy from looking at so many different subwoofers. I'm trying to figure out the best solution to get some sounds back into my car.
Originally, I had designed my system to run 2 IDMAX 10's off of my JBL GTO14001 (rated 1500w RMS 2 ohms or 1200w RMS 4 ohms).
I bought both IDMAX's used and soon had a problem with one of them. The motor was off center and caused the cone to rub which eventually caused the speaker to fail. That left me with one 10" so I turned down the gain on the amp and rewired the speaker for the correct ohm. I smoked my second IDMAX the other day, too much gain on the amp I guess... ugh and they want $200 for a recone kit. That's too much I think, they used to be $150.
I don't know what the best solution would be to keeping my amplifier and running either a pair or a single sub. I'd prefer to have a solution that would allow me to utilize my trunk space and have access to my spare tire. I like SQ but need a fix of SPL often. I like my bass low and loud and like to feel it. I really don't have a size preference, I just need something that will sound awesome without taking over my whole trunk. I like to listen to Hip-hop, R&B and Dubstep.
I'd greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations you guy's can give. Thanks for your help!
