Need Expert Help (Subs/Box)

[kgcolbyIII 10+ year member]

Ok so i have learned a few things about "Gain" from the forums depsite the trolls trying to feel better with a keyboard

Now, today i just bottomed out my sub with the "shops settings" while testing with "Bass i love you" and to be honest i dont even want to deal with them anymore nor this sub and im not going to waste my time with a "Exchange" ill just sell the mag/basket and toss the rest.

Now, I'm running 520wRMS@4ohm if not more. I'm starting to think of getting 2 10's or 2 12's but i doubt the 12's because my budget of 200$

What would you guys point out for a nice sub(s) for my price. Also I listen to EVERYTHING (country/Techno/Trance/Rock/Rap/Classic) and i dont really care much for "Loud" bass but a nice mid/low deep bass.

What kind of box should i do for those and what sub(s)

I feel like just getting my old FI Q 12" again i never had a single issue with it other then i could never afford a good amp for it.

thanks!

How do you guys feel about T3audio? seems to have good specs for the price tag, watched some videos of these things hitting hard and taking alot of power

NEW T3 AUDIO T600-10D

hook up two of them possibly, sell my current amp on ebay and run 1krms to them@1 ohm or just keep my 520wrms@4 ohm on them

well make sure your electrical is up to par if running 1 ohm

Is 4awg good enough for 1ohm under 1k rms. It's true 4awg not the thin copper thick rubber coating type at fleamarkets for 15 bucks

true 4g is good up to about 1500w, so you should be fine

no you wont need a new alt. do you have the big 3 done and at least one good batt under the hood?
