All the subs will get the job done...whatever you get depends on the rest of your setup and your personal preference......what's the RMS on the amp and @ what ohm load? Are you looking for SQ or SPL?

the amp is bridgeable @ 2ohm. 800 WATTS X 1 @ 4 OHMS. so shouldnt i get 2 subs 400 watt each?

Yeah...around that area....the subs will have to be dual 4 ohm, or single 2 ohm....are you looking for the subs to be loud or sound good?

I agree. You should be able to find a pair for about 150 or maybe some rockford fosgate he2's if you can find them for that price

premiers are better than kickers and jl's?. i heard dhd subs are pretty good too. what do you think?

Originally posted by Jmac The Premiers are much better SQ-wise than the Kicker CompVRs. Not sure what JLs you're talking about, but I'd say the Premiers are a lot better than the W0s, but not quite as good as W3s ...

 

And DHD doesn't make anything that's even remotely good, to my knowledge ...

jl w6. what about dhd's?
