if your talking about the sony xplod subs which im sure you are ive heard those and 2 12" american pro chromes and i would have to say to the 2 american pro's sounded better and there much cheaper they run about $90-$100 for 2. i mean there not the best subs on the market but after hearing 2 12 xplod subs and 2 12 american pros i would have to say the american pros were better

[Importaholic]

can you provide me a link to those subs,,,,,I can't find them at all

Stay away from sony. Check out adire audio's shiva. They sell for 125 a piece but on www.visionaryaudio.com they are having a sell for 115 each shipped. Leaves 170 for an amp. Since your on a tight budget I'd go with a profile ca 600m. It's about 90 bucks shipped on ebay. I've had nothing but good experiences with this amp. I'm sure some one else will give a few other reccomendations. As far as a box I'd build it on your own they're really easy to make and someone on here can help you with the design.

this is the cheapest place i can find them online http://www.speakerdomain.com/

just click on car audio equitment on the left then click on american pro on the left and scroll down on that page till you see chrome series they are $99.95 for a set of 12's, they also have 8's, 10's, and 15's

don't get sony, and i'm pretty sure thsoe american pros aren't the best either, how about one 15? just get a tempest, and like 500 watts bridged=nice system

one shiva would, not 2

you can get any of these JL Audio subs from authorized dealers
10W0's for about $150
10W3's for about $250
10W6's for about $300
10W7's for about $500
or, you can easily get any of them for about half price off the net.
I would recommend (2)10W6's (versions 1 or 2), and a JL500/1 amp.
The amp goes for about $400-$500 brand new, and half price on the net.
You can get this setup online and spend within your budget, and you'll end
up with a system that quakes way better than anything else in that range.

actually...how bout this amp....:

would that be enuff to power 2 12" shivas??

[Navy I.C.]

it's enough power, but it's still a corny combo

why?
and no that amp won't work well. It's enough power but at the wrong impedance

well, I take that back. It would be enough power, but you'd be wasting half of the amp's potential. You need a 600x1 @ 2ohm amp, NOT a 2ch amp

[Importaholic]

ok...actually...I have changed my mind...I think im gonna get the MTX 8000 sub...w/ the Kicker amp....Budget wise...I CANT go over $450 for subs and amp...

here are the links:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38647

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38638

wat do you guys think...will that do??

[loismustdie]

you will only be getting 400 watts because you'll need to run it in two channel mode at 4 ohms becuase of the dual 4 ohm voice coils, it doesn't appear stable at 2 ohms in bridged mode, get a sub with dual 2 ohms vioce coils, or dual 8 ohms voice coils and you will be able to get 4 ohms in bridged mode. the tempest is 150$, and the rms is 750, buts that only thermal, so if its a sealed box with 800 watts it can probly take it as long as you aren't stupid about it, and it will rape the mtx 8000

[MStout]

You have a small budget, which means you shouldnt expect 2 subs. Dont buy an 8000 if youre only going to have one, I had 2 and liked it but I also had a 1501D amp which gave me 550 to each. Get a single 15" Type-R or any of the other ones they recommended.
