Need help choosing subs..

[fanaticalmoose 10+ year member]

I'm need help choosing a subwoofer for my car. Right now i have one L5 hooked up to a Rockford Fosgate RF X7.A 1500w mono w/ everything turned down, it sounds fine but i want to upgrade. I've been reading other posts around here and i'm confused as hell. I AM A NOOB WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO CAR AUDIO.. but most of you know what you guys are talking about so i need some recommondations for subs..

I have a 2003 honda accord v6 4dr and I want to put 2 12" subs in there, i want to spend like $300/500 for two subs, what would you guys recommend.. plus i will be building a box myself (hopefully i can pull it off)... THANKS!

I think you should by my 3HP, its a 15 and has great sq. Not to mention i live like 10-15 min from mclean. Im trying to buy something new. PM me if interested.

the 3hp is an excellent recommendation... and if you can get it used at a good price within driving distance it should be a good deal...

lemme look around for other recs

hmm two SVC 4ohm subs that handle ~700w each for ~150-250 each...

two of these (will take 1000w together, maybe a little more in a small sealed box but it never hurts to turn the gains down on you amp)

one of these (not sure on price):

one of these (won't handle all the power you have but will sound nice):

one of these: Audioque HD3 series can handle 1000w, cheaper and basically the same sub as the DD:
