whats up guys im currently pushing 2 MTX JH451204 in a vented enclosure pushing around 350 watts to each and was wanting to get some opinions on what would be a worthy upgrade without breaking my pocket i scored these for $30 each and was trying to figure out what would sound better, the price range i can play with is around $200 for some new 12s what do you guys think?

Well. Are you going to keep the same amp?

I have a feeling he would or else this would be posted up in the amplifier section

Maybe CVRs? Though they're both entry level subs so idk how much of an upgrade you're looking at. Unfortunately, i've never heard those crackhammers

I've heard a few cvr set ups. They can get loud for what they are, but lack on sq imo.

yeah i would run the same amp, they sound alright for entry level they dont take your breath away thats for sure, i actually just talked to a buddy of mine after i posted this and he has a kenwood 1500watt amp and a diamond audio D315 with an encloser he is going to sell me for pretty cheap im still interested in what would be a step up from the JH's i was looking at the fosgate P series but i dont know much about them i was also lookin at some kickers. the amp is cheap but for a first time build on a budget it does good same with the hammers im not going to dog them to hard since i only paid 30 bones each i have only wraped maybe $220 into the setup and it doesnt overheat or cut out it just doesnt have the effect of making it hard to breath or vibrating the hairs on your neck lol, thats actually what im looking for in a sub, im going to upgrade my mids and tweets here soon as well, drives me nuts not being able to hear the music.

try these out for entry level SSA Shop - Incriminator Audio 12" 187

thats a pretty accurate suggestion, i have not heard of the brand do you know mch about them? unfortunatly i dont have a very good inventory of newer or not so mainstream audio companys, i mean dont get me wrong, i just dont really associate with the shops here and dont hear about whats new, seems like every shop i go into with the exception of 1 seems to house money hungry dousche bags. if ya know what i mean, i will for sure be looking into those 187s, i appreciate the info guys.
