subwoofer/amp recommendations

[riceburner2006 10+ year member]

Im not all that knowledgeable when it come to car audio but im learning bits and pieces here and there from this site. Well I have 300c and im wanting to put a single 10" or 12" woofer but im limited on space since my trunk already has an eight gallon tank and 2 compressors occupying some space. Im looking for something around 1000wrms-1500wrms. From what I have read, sundown and dc audio both seem to use smaller boxes put here are so many different brands out there im really lost what to go with. Suggestions please?

Particular reason you'd like to run that much power? You may need electrical upgrades for that kind of power....

budget?

My last system was around 2000wrms in my last vehicle and I didn't really wanna go much less then that. Im not looking to do electrical upgrades honestly..so I guess I could run less..and id say around $350 for the woofer?

I would suggest a single high performance subwoofer in a sealed box. Something like ID IDMAX12, Arc Flatline, or JL Audio W7. These should play quality bass while still getting pretty loud and without sacrificing much space in the trunk. I don't think they can take 2000watts though. The Boston Acoustics GTA-1000m amplifier could work nicely to power these, just as many others.

Any more suggestions? Kind of leaning toward the Icon at the moment
