New Subwoofer reccomendation & Questions

[SmTeras]

Hey

I'm looking for a new subwoofer since my "old" one took a crap.
I Have Alpine X-A90M mono amp. It should have 900rms at 2ohm (sheet in the box says measured 950 something at 2ohm). Was thinking going back to the X series subwoofer but they don't sell those anymore (atleast i haven't found them anymore)
I have always used 12" subs and I was thinking of trying 2 10" ones.
(Also I was thinking of going 2 8" but i'm afraid that they will fall short when it comes to the lower bass notes)
I wanted to use 2 DD Audio 610e subs, but those total to arond 1200rms, and i'm not sure if that amp could handle that since it is 900rms amp (I also have always used amps little more powerful than the sub itself).

I also was looking at Kicker L7T10 subs that my amp could probably handle, but I have 0 experience with those since they don't sell Kicker at all where I live (so I would have to order them from Germany).

I Just would like some reccomendations of subwoofers and some advice about the power thing, I'm open to all kind of suggestions about the sub (except GAS and Pioneer and anything above 12" since they won't fit in my trunk)

Unless you're building the box and thin as possible, I wouldn't go with the L7T10. They are shallow subs, so they don't perform as well as a standard sub.

If you don't want to take a lot of trunk space, I would consider a 10" sub in a ported box. You will be giving up about 1.25 cubic feet, which is smaller than the average size of a sealed box for a 12".
