What Sub's Should I get for this Enclosure

[smokesnugs 10+ year member]

This upcoming addition will be for a Honda Civic 2000 trunk. Also, I have no choice other than to use this enclosure for the time being.. Building my own box is currently out of the question.

Rockford Fosgate PL2-212 Punch Stage 2 dual 12" ported enclosed subwoofer at Crutchfield.com

I have that enclosure, minus the subs..

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.. My budget is between 90-130$ per sub..

I want something that will have quality knock on an affordable budget.. I had Audiobahn Flame Series 12''s, I believe it was the 1st or 2nd edition of the series.. they we're phenomenal till they blew.. I believe because I had them wired wrong when I added them to a different amp *facepalm*

Anyways, I got my income taxes coming in soon and look forward to getting a couple replacements.. I want something that is going to be "IDEAL" for the enclosure I have at my disposal..

THANK YOU in advance!!!

Any and ALL advice / recommendations are greatly appreciated! Will be keeping a close eye on this post!!

P.S

Direct Links would be amazing considering I'll be checking in on this post from the road (12 hour drive ahead of me in about an hour 1/2) And I'll be using my Windows Phone.. Direct Links would be ideal!! Thank you guys!!

throw some sa12s in there and buy a quality 1200-1500w amp to push them they will far exceed your expectations and later when u get used to your bass and want more just build a custom box. the skar vvx12. obsidian 12. ia lethal injection 12 are pretty interchangeable when it come to the enclosure and have similar performances except the skar which excels in low tuned ported boxes

instead of buying subs for an enclosure. make an enclosure for your subs

he has no subs which is why i recommended something just that was just good quality. hell even the new p2s wont drop in perfect for that box or the p3 or p1, the p3s is the only thing that matches perfect but why run a shallow in the space a full sized sub fits in

Ok, Let's change topics..

I need advice on an affordable setup for my Honda Civic Sedan, The rear seats are able to drop down so I can sort of port my trunk to my cabin making the inside sound amazing.. ANYWAYSSS, Long story short..

Shoot me some reccomendations on a couple 12''s and what kind of enclosure to build for them.. I got an amp that will do for now so I'm only worried about subs and advice on the proper enclosure.. Thank you!

x2 thats actually a big deal man. You could buy the best sub ever, but without a a good amp they will sound like poop. Amp and box are more important then the sub. I learned this from experience lol you wouldn't believe the change in sound when you use high quality amps.

Even me going from a 05 fosgate punch to a memphis made my old kicker 8 sound WAYYYY better

800 watt acoustik amp, willing to upgrade.. Plan on upgrading soon, Can get good deals on amps back home..

You're doing it backwards. It's sub THEN box.

Unless you are clipping, you will not hear a change in sound quality when you change amps.

My TC 15 sounded the same on a cheap *** kenwood amp as it did on my MB Quart ONX1.1500D, just it got louder with the MB due to more power.

That's just wrong.

 

[IonRL205 10+ year member]

That's just wrong.

I meant as in sound quality wise. You may or may not hear a difference in loudness.

Still wrong. You might not have been able to hear a difference in that specific instance, but there is a measurable difference in sound quality from amp to amp.
