Which sub for a 2001 525i BMW

[525i]

I am looking for a setup around $350 (sub and amp), I am looking for a sub that is crisp but hits deep in your chest, I am thinking a 10, because Im not looking to impress just add heart to the car.

Thoughts?

do you need everything? amp, wiring, etc

I budgeted the $350 for a sub and amp, I will pay extra for the box and wiring.

hmmm.. the ssa dcon sounds good for what your looking for...130 bucks and rms is 300 but they are great subs...

I would also like to use an enclosed box, would that change your opinion?

Is this for OEM (DSP / non-DSP) or aftermarket HU?

 

[525i]

This is for an OEM headunit but not sure on the DSP/non-DSP? How can I tell also?

Whats the difference between the SSA Dcon and the ICON?

the icon is the bigger brother. it takes more power. why do you want sealed and not ported?

 

[525i]

My opinion may be wrong but I always felt the the ported box sounded a little more air like and not as clean/crisp if that makes sense..

well if you want absolutly the most sq as possible then i guess go with sealed

 

[525i]

Why would you recomend ported, pros cons?

well i am because of loudness..but you just want sq so nevermind
