Please help me choose between these! I'm lost.

[Android]

The story:

I popped my subs on my car,

so got a bigger amp and was e-shopping for two 12" subs.

I was browsing the Internet for Information for 2 days-

almost got into domestic violence with my gf-

but still can't choose.

It's mainly because I can't find good comperative testing reviews with awards and stuff.

And official manufacturer's websites don't compare much.

I'm lost now- please help me choose!

I'm desperate.

You like rap pounding?

Get a ported box.

Put some good fat-surround 12's in.

go to town.

I like the new memphis m-class 12's i bought about a month ago. They rock the house in my sealed box. I used sealed cuz i like rock... at 110 dB ( i need a bigger amp). I would also recommed kickers. I had some old-school kicker substation 80 tubes in my trunk for like 6 months and they hit like no other 8 ive ever seen. But about the memphis's, after tax they cost me 276 (sweet) and they are dvc's with a strange looking double roll surround (again, sweet).

Id look into some Memphis M3's very nice and will get really loud in ported boxes. But also look at the new Typre R's, Ive only heard good things and they can be had for around 100 bucks on ebay

Alpine Type Rs are just a forum boner. They are good woofers, but the are also pimped too much.

Alpine Type R: ~$150 popular!

Incriminator Audio 187: ~$100 Legendary IA build quality, loud!!

RE SE: ~$150 RE's amazing Price / performance ratio!

Used Adire Shiva / Tempest: ~$150 Read a review!

Xsite On Ebay $135 shipped?

1. Get some counsiling for you and your girlfriend.

2. Call RE and get 2 SE's.

3. Live happily ever after in peace and harmony. (Applies to both 1. and 2. above.)

Aren't new Alpine Type R 500W RMS a piece too powerful for my weakamp?

and RE SE too expensive (~$320 a pair?).

And memphis m-class are too weak (200W RMS a piece)?

What would be the best RMS-peak power rating of a sub I should be looking at?

300-600w a piece?

This amp only pushing 125Wx2 on 4 ohms (190Wx2 on 2 ohms) continious and 250Wx2 (4 ohm) peak...

can I make my sealed box ported? how?

Please advise.

I couldnt agree with you more. They seem to be the only thing around here lately. Ide rather start hearing about the new re line coming out.

[lebomb 10+ year member]

I would run the PIONEER subs personally with that amp.

Okay, I bought Kicker CVRs.

Anybody experienced them in a sealed box?

Are there any ways to port this box here?

Thank you!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

You have to build a Ported box to spec, you can't jsut add ports to a sealed box.
