Sub Choices

I've tried to steer the op towards the Sundown E series. They're on sale right now for around 90 bucks a pc. shipped. I'm getting 3 of the 10's myself tomorrow for 85 bucks a pc. Can't really beat them at that price point.

Rockford Fosgate P2D2-12 (P2D212) 12" Dual 2 ohm Punch Stage 2 Sub

I'd jump on this OP. About as good as you'll do in that budget. Sonic is a great dealer, too.

Yeah 80 bucks is a pretty good price for the p2's. I think I'd still rather go Sundown E. Wife had a p2 15" for a while. I liked it a lot but if you gave it over it's rms wattage by a little it would get stinky pretty quick...

The cooling on them is definitely only up to par on rated wattage. Good sounding subs, will get okay loud. I would think the E would be more efficient and hold up to more power for longer.

These would be a good choice too. I've heard these in a crappy prefab box here in Tulsa. They sounded great! I was actually thinking of doing 4 10's of these in the wife's minivan for a budget build. Impressive for the price....

For the budget you have, rockford or kicker is probably the most reasonable brand to look into
