What subwoofer to use with this enclosure?

Dodge Challenger Custom Sub Box Only 2008 2014 Free Shipping | eBay

Hey guys, new member here, let me apologize in advance for my newbness...... I just purchased a 2015 Dodge Challenger. Even though it has the sound group II package I find the amount of bass to be rather embarassing from the system so I am looking at adding a sub to the factory system. I dont need this thing to be the loudest thing on the block, not even close to it, i just need good clean crisp bass that hits hard enough to feel it and give a little kick. So with that being said I have linked the enclosure above I am looking to use due to the fact it keeps my usable trunk space. I have not decided on amp and sub yet, I have been out of car audio for so long im not sure who is good anymore, My budget for the amp and sub is about $800. Please educate me, and thanks in advance.

This sub would be perfect I think:

http://www.amazon.com/TC-Sounds-LMS-R-DVC-Subwoofer/dp/B0039OTTHO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1433532721&sr=8-4&keywords=tc+sounds

These are becoming rarer and rarer and sound awesome. It will work well in small sealed enclosures, like you have. Pair it with either amp below:

Incriminator Audio IA10.1 1200W RMS Amplifier - SSA STORE

SSA Store - US Acoustics Mike amplifier

I'd go with the US acoustics amp since it's a bit more power.

Well not to nitpick too much, but is there any amps with a smaller footprint that are quality, I have a specific place in mind of where i want the amp to go and those amps are too large.

How small does it need to be? The US Acoustics one is 14" long.

Well I should of put this in my first post i suppose but this is my original thought of what to go with but im not sure how well the sub will work in the enclosure AMP:ST-1KD - Zapco Monoblock 1000W RMSClass D Low Range Amplifier and SUB: D-DR12D2- Incriminator Audio 12" Dual 2-Ohm Subwoofer

That amp should work, though I'd still go with the TC sounds driver - pretty much same price. They make/made some of the best drivers ever.

Yeah i honestly dont know anything about TC to be honest, but the sub looks very nice, im confused on the 2+2ohm dual voice coil in the description.... i may be just be not reading it correctly, but are they just trying to say it has dual 2ohm VC's or what?

 

[fly_marlin]

Yeah, 2 ohm dvc

You won't regret buying TC woofers.

The Brazilians make crazy small amps. I'm not thrilled with the MSRP here, but this is TINY 209 Stetsom Car Amplifier Vulcan 1K5H 1 Ohm 2012 Model 1830 Watts RMS Mono 1 CH | eBay I've had good luck with Stetsom amps personally. They make rated power in a very small package.

The better "micro" sized amps are rather pricey... 400$ for 500W amps, and I know a couple of the lower tier brands make some tiny amps. Someone else might chime in on this, I've never been too concerned with size when it comes to buying amps.

Crescendo Audio Symphony S1500.1 - 1500 watts x 1 Mono Block - SSA STORE smaller footprint and by all my research is a quality amp that generally does higher than rated, i dont know much about incriminator audio myself. but im sold on the crescendo stuff seen lot of good reviews and benchmarks with there amps. are your going to run this off of stock radio??

2+2 is just a weird way of saying it's a dual 2 ohm, so your wiring options are 4 ohm in series or 1 ohm in parallel.

Not knocking the nendo. I had the first run 2000 back when they where under $300. Both blew from vibration. Good power though.

The IA is not off the shelf. It's a better amp
