Only 200W @ 4Ohm... What to use?

O.K., this is for the girlfriends car... She has unlimited space, but needs something to best make use of the limited power available. What would you put in the trunk?

budget?

Well... I just happen to have some subs that do great on low-power. The SD-1 models do extremely well with as little as 100 watts each. Might I suggest a pair of SD-1 10" subs ported, this will give you a 4 ohm load and excellent output on only 200 watts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The cheaper, the better... but let's assume the budget is open, for now.

I've always had good luck with Kicker Comps in low-power situations. An RE RE12 ought to do well, too.

I was leaning towards a single 12, something efficient and was considering going ported for the first time, to make better use of what little power she has available.

Hmmm... for a single 12" ported you could look at something like this:

I still stand by a pair of 10" SD-1s ported... 2 ft^3 box tuned to 30Hz sounds exceptional. You can see a review here:

Thanks. I'm not sure. It's going to be a week or two before I get around to doing anything, but the SD-1's are definately a possibility.

RL-i8?

AA's? JBL GTO's are nice little subs (very efficient). Alpine Type E.
