Newbie Sub question

[MiamiLoco 10+ year member]

Well, when I first got my system, I decided to get everything Kenwood (DON'T ASK, LOL). I currently have two 12" Kenwood Tornado subs connected to a 1200W Kenwood amp. My brother in law gave me his old 12" PUNCH sub, so I decided to get a Kenwood 1000W amp that I'm going to bridge. I'm saving up money to get a better sub to replace the PUNCH one. I'm reading lots of good things about JL Subs; what model do you guys recommend?

Budget?

Depending on what that amp really does and the ohm is does it at a w3v2 might be a good option.

this is the amp:

I'm gonna have that Amp hooked up to the 12" Punch (for now).

My main goal is to not overpower (at least not by much) the crappiness of the Kenwood Tornadoes because then that would be awkward.

Budget? From $180 to $250

Also, I heard that XXX subs where pretty good and cheaper than JL. Any thoughts? And where can I buy the XXX subs?

I dont know where youll get an XXX for $180-$250 though

An XXX will never be that price and that amp would die trying to get enough watts to really get it moving, it could but it just wouldnt be to its full power

if you bridge that amp it wil power an SE pretty good, not full rms but it will power it, and sound real good, or get 2 REs, but an SE is $185 shipped. 2 REs would be about $170 shipped( i dont know the price of each so that might be wrong, but its close to here

Yep, for what you have and what you want to pay, the XXX is out of your league.
