What amp should I get to power it? Sealed or Ported? Will this compare to an MTX 9500 15" Sub? Hows the SQL & SPL?

Ive heard great things about that sub in terms of SPL... SQ though, havnt heard amazing things about it.

The 9500 is a much better all around sub, the mofo just gets loud.

Whats 2 good 12" subs or 1 15" sub that has good spl and sql?

I would definitely chose the 9500 over a Mofo. According to Lloyd (bigbassman) whose tested the Mofo against many other subs, they don't even get that loud. I wasn't impressed with the SQ of the one I heard at all, could have been the install, but follows with other people's responses Ive read.

edit: you should include a budget if you want recommendations

I like the 4 spoke on the old Xxx, but I like the new cone/dustcap, If they made one with both I'd probably want it bad and idk why.

Both have 0 feedback... no thanks..

Reconing an old one with new parts would yield exactly that. Im sure there are some floating around. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
Good point about the 0 feedback. But those are the sorts of deals I would look for. You can pick up a Brahma or XXX in the low 300's if you look around and be patient. Either would suit your SQL needs nicely. Both the Brahma and XXX are a step up from the mtx9500 imho, and like 3 steps up form the Mofo. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Humm for that amount of money I'd go kicker //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I'd go here

Very inexpensive, (wish I'd bought my kicker's from there) but I went here

Plenty of pre fab boxes out there for those subs that will hammer too

Kicker CVR's? Are these any good? The 05 models

in the car audio industry you definetly get what you pay for

you will never find a sub for $150 that will be anywhere near comparable to a $500-600 sub

If I bought 3 of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/Kicker-CVR10-10-CVR-Dual-2-ohm-SUBWoofer-Chrome-New-05_W0QQitemZ5795194629QQcategoryZ3291QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

In either 10's or 12's would they sound alright? And what type of amp would I need to power them?
