I'm bout to buy some subs......

[Importaholic]

I really appreciate your responses..i really do...I got a very good deal on 2 8000's...and a mtx 801D amp...and its all new for around $450...pretty good deal if you ask me...wat you guys think

[Importaholic]

and also...I'm not even gonna try to build my own box...so should I get a medium sealed box..or a small sealed box??

I would DEFINATELY stay away from MTX. IMO they sound like junk and aren't very loud. A tempest from adire audio would be your best bet on a single sub. I would also reccomend using a ported enclosure. It will get a lot louder and with a low tuning still have very good sound quality. Kicker amps aren't bad but get one that will give you its maximum power at 4 ohms if your only getting one sub. But seriously stay away from MTX. Tempests are 150 shipped from www.visionaryaudio.com

MTX is not bad, sounds decent gets really loud, especially the 9500 series

[bumpinstang77]

Haven't heard the 9500 but there's better for the price. I hav heard the 8000's, 6000;s, and some old road thunders and didn't like any of them at all.

i thought about the 9500's when i re-did my system. powered right...they're one of the few single sub setups that can run wit me...

Well if your looking for loud just geta kicker solo l5. I went to car audio place. Got 1 and had a custom box they hbuit for 100$. It really out did my old 2 sub setups. I alost gained trunk room. I know you guys might disagree, but BOSS amps arn't all that bad. I have had alpine mono a JBL mono and now own a BOSS mono amp, jbl and boss are same power. The boss is better, if you check out sounddomain they have all kinds or subs and amps. Build your own box for like 30 bucks, cheap and easy if you make a sealed box. Get like a 15 Alpine R like MS said, build a big sealed box and get some small mono amp for it. 1 more tip, Buy a sub from a store, usually warranties are easier. You dont always expect to blow a sub

I remember BOSS. had one back in college. my co-workers in the restaurant that I worked in back then would tell me how the whole store would rattle whenever I showed up for work
