1 12in ssa dcon will probably be your best bet, in the ported box on their website. takes 600rms daily without any problems, so look around on the forums for an amp that will give you that at 2ohms, do the dvc 4ohms option and youll be set, and that gives you more options later when wanting to upgrade. the forum classifieds will be your best bet and youll find some nice amps for cheap. just stay away from audiopipe and ask around for more about amps. the older the better generally. good luck. the dcon is a nice sub for a first setup, its pretty versatile and sounds good and will get loud.

DCON, w3, or Sundown SA get my vote...

Go to SSA store as well... If you could get exact measurements that would be good as well... What else is installed in the car?

Would the ssa dcon be better then the tc sounds sub i posted earlier? As far as things i have done is a pioneer face and 4 pioneer 6.5in speakers. For the trunk id say about 38inx20inx15in

There was alot of SSlabs and addicitive at SBN. Everybody is saying good looking build quality. Also good feedback about the everest amps

personally i think the dcon would be better, but i honestly dont know about tc sounds, i heard they get loud but i think the dcon would have better sq. do you have aftermarket speakers?

I would beg to differ there... The TC would probably out do it in both SQ and output...

OP I have a couple amps you may want and I would also suggest you look into Knu for wire...

Not to say the DCON isnt a nice sub though... I would compare the TC more to an ICON instead...

Or more SSA's rumored new sub...

They really need a sub to fill that big gap they have... Sundown is starting to sound like Kicker with all their new lines... Kinda ridiculous if you ask me but further evidence they are going mainstream...
