Which Subs To Go With

[DAffiliated 10+ year member]

I finally went ahead and bought a new headunit(Pioneer DEH-5800) and amp(Kenwood KAC-9152)...........now my question is what subs should I go with???? I was looking at 2 Kicker CVR D2(12), 2 Diamond Audio D312D4, or 2 Alpine Type SWR-1041D..............any suggestions...........I want something that is going to get loud, but maintain a respectable amount of sound quality. I'm not sure how good of an amp the Kenwood is yet, so I'll probably replace it in a couple of months.........but here are the specs on it............

Mono channel Power Amplifier with Dual Mono Drive Function

RMS Power: 500W x 1 @ 4 ohms

RMS Power: 900W x 1 @ 2 ohms

RMS Power: 900W x 1 at 1 ohms

RMS Power: 900W x 2 at 4 ohms (Dual Mono Drive)

Aluminium Die-casting Heat Sink

Detachable Aluminium Dress Plate & Top Panel Control

Dual Mono Drive (Bridged Connections of KAC-9152D x 2)

Gold Plated Input/Output Terminals

Single Side Exposure of Terminals for Multi Installation

Of those 3 choices of your looking for SQ,I would grab the D3s.

Thats some weird amp specs - what kinda crap is that anyways?

Mostly rap...........a lil R&B..........and church music...........but I won't be trying to get the subs to pound on the church music though. Something that will get those deep bass notes well.

Its a kenwood..........but kenwood doesn't have the specs for this things on the website.........I doubt it will do 900 though.........but we will see..........if I just want an amp that can do a little for now and I'll upgrade to something better later. Right now the Kenwood is cost effective.http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14934

I don't have space for 4 of those.........I may be pushing it with the 12's........they are going under the seat in a QPower Downfire Box........for about $140.......unless you know of something better and I don't have the time to build my own box.

if you get the Kickers, be sure to get two DVC 4's, not dual 2's

Why go with D4 instead of D2? I was just curious.............I'm a newbie, so does it give you more wiring options or something?

your amp shows rated at

RMS Power: 900W x 1 at 1 ohms

two DVC 4's will wire to a final 1 ohm load...two DVC 2's, lowest impedence will be 2 ohm..
