Which subs are the best for the $$$

[tr10av 10+ year member]

All subs are 10". Looking for something relatively inexpensive and a decent SQ but can get real loud when need be.

EDIT:

I've decided to go with the GPs

(2) Crunch GroundPounders: http://cgi.ebay.com/2-CRUNCH-GROUND-POUNDER-10-2000-WATT-CAR-SUBWOOFERS_W0QQitemZ230339773540QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Subwoofers_Enclosures?hash=item35a1520464&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

What amp should I be using and how can I wire them?

This is what I was thinking:

If I go with the GPs which model should I get they are available in DVC 2 ohm or 4 ohm

I was thinking about these amps:

Crunch GVP2000.1

RMS: 1000 watts x 1 @ 2ohms

or the

Crunch P1800.4

RMS 450x2 @ 4ohms

The P1800.4 is about $50 cheaper and for basically the same power. Would I be able to wire up either up these sub models and make them able to fit these 2 ohm or 4 ohm load configurations?

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm in finals week and can't look up all this technical stuff on my own right now.

depends on how much power you are using

id say you couldnt go wrong with a 12 Fi Q

 

[tr10av 10+ year member]

I'm going to decide on which subs I want first then decide on an amp to run them.

Or how about a Punch ground pounder?

Dd 1010

 

[dennit469 10+ year member]

I want to put the subs in a sealed box due to space limitations and I see that DD only recommends using ported. Is that a problem?

Also where can I find these FI q subs?

And would it be better to get 2 cheaper subs or 1 more expensive sub? What kind of difference would it be?

 

[tr10av 10+ year member]

I think the DD are completely out of my price range. I'll never be able to afford an amp to power one of those and I don't have enough space to build a quality box for it.

I think I'm leaning towards these Crunch GroundPounders:

They are dual coil 4ohms w/ 500 W RMS

So if I got 2 of them what amp would you recommend. I'd like to stay with Crunch just to keep all the brands the same. And I'd be putting these in a sealed enclosure. How big would you recommend?

Soundstream T5's are hard to beat for the money. Id take one over a R" any day.

OK so I've narrowed it down to either the 2 Crunch groundpounders or 1 Soundstream T5. What do you reccomend out of those 2?

 

[cj407]

well based on cone area the 2 should be louder than 1....but the t5 can take more power than the gp's...overall its up to you

I heard a set of BOSS CHAOS 10's....in a small ported box and those things were sick......I think the guy said he paid $35 a sub.....
