[QUOTE="jmw703, post: 7600026, member: 636263"] Ok, so im getting rid of my 2 12 kicker cvrs as i was unimpressed with them. I was running them ported and i know they werent in a very good box which was probably the reason i didnt like them, but i know they arent SQ subs anyways. One major gripe i had with them is that they really could only hit mid-low notes (which honestly didnt sound all that great), highish low notes sounded like garbage. I always resorted to putting the back seats down so it sounded better but that got annoying after a while and still didnt sound great. Anyways i got a new car.. 99 camry to a 08 mazda 3 sedan so i decided not to install the kickers but to change setups. Im looking to downsize to a single 12, my budget is 200 heres what i know i want: ill be running it off a hifonics brz1200.d 600rms @ 4 ohms so 5-600 rms sub would probably be best. I want good SQ and also to be able to get decently loud. I listen to various types of music. (dubstep, drum and bass, rap, rock, heavy metal, alternative) Mainly heavy rock/metal and dubstep/drum and bass. So whatever i get, its crucial that it sounds good with most types of music. I would prefer to run sealed as i want to feel the bass especially from heavy bass breakdowns, drops, and double bass pedals in metal. I hate boomy, and i hate "one note wonder" setups, i know a properly made ported box can fix this but i havent had a chance to hear one for myself. As of right now ive been looking at an SA-12 and a type r. Im open to suggestions, im not really very experienced with car audio so feel free to enlighten me. [/QUOTE]
