Need help in choosing new subs

[Aarvot 10+ year member]

I had my previous Subs, Box, and Amp stolen out of my car a few months ago, and I thought I could go without them... Turns out I was wrong. Before, I had 2 Pioneer TS-W310D4 12"s in a Prefab Ported Box, and a Power Acoustik BAMF 2000/1D that all got taken. They were decent enough to actually disconnect everything correctly and didn't damage my wiring, which is nice.

I was looking at pawnshops in town the other day looking for my old gear on the off chance it'd be there to no avail. I did, however, see 2 12" Kicker L5's in a ported Kicker box for $300. Assuming they still work and are in good condition, what kind of deal is that? Or is there something else for that price that'd be better? I'd have to consider the availability in the OKC area or shipping costs too, plus the amp.

Any help would be much appreciated!

No I'd rather get two sound qubed woofers brand new for that price, or sundown E and that fu audio woofer and FI $130 woofer... Lot of options brand new better then those l5s

not sure how loud your pioneers got but this is what you can manage with 300 dollars

If all I had was 300 bucks choice would be so simple pair of FU Audio 750s. SQ wouldn't cross my mind. HDC4 or leave SQ alone.

If I was to get those FU 750's, what amp would you recommend, as well as a box?

Amp power wise I'd be looking for at least 2k. So 1k to each sub.

If 2 12's Rd 3.5 to 3.75cf for the pair. Tune Rd 30-34hz snd smile.

That amp and the FU 750 subs will blow away your old set up and the Kicker L5's combined. Those FU subs are some of the best bang for your buck subs and that FSD amp.

Custom ported box, build it yourself, even without proper tools or knowledge, its not that hard.

Guy in the video i linked had zero experience and inadequate tools, He just followed a blueprint and spent 40 bucks on materials, had home depot cut the wood and he got decently loud.
