I think companies that make subs and amps make the best mates. that amp seem like it would mate well with an audiobahn AWIS12P. I would recommend one sub to anyone with space issues in their trunk. I'm only running one sub and it's way more than enough. but first i woud upgrade my factory speakers

[Mustang_95_Coupe]

HMM i have measured the trunk and it would fit the subs and the amp fine. My friend recommended 2 KICKER COMP-VR CVR12 12 in a box. What would you think? Also i hear that audiobahn subs are bad LOL that is why im trying to stay away from them. THANKS IN ADVANCED!

Also how did i do on the AMP? is it a good amp? LOL

I always thought it was the cheaper audiobahn subs that everybody hated...but, if you want to get away from them, and you got the space and the cash, then consider JL's W7 series. it's hard to go wrong with those subs...just make sure you got enough power for 'em, and it seems like you have enough for (2) 12W7's

[Mustang_95_Coupe]

alright cash is not a issue(well it is but i can always sell sports memorbilia(easy job for a 17 year old) and get the cash. How much will those run me? Also what wires will i need im gonna take everything in and get it professionaly installed.

[Navy I.C.]

don't quote me but I think you can get a 12W7 for about $500. if you want your 3 year warranty honored by JL, you'll have to have 'em installed by an authorized dealer. they'll have all of the cabling you'll need.

[Mustang_95_Coupe]

alright thanks, anyone else have any other coments or recomndations also is the amp i bought good?

[Mustang_95_Coupe]

also bandpass is not for a car correct? Its for suvs? Also anyone else recomend any other subs? PLMK thanks

Yo, don't know how loud u wanna get ur subs, but if u want loud subs and are interested in Kicker, go with the solobarics. Having them personally, I bought 2 for my first system(S12L's) and they pounded pretty good in a pre-made sealed box. Sorry, I don't know much about about bandpass boxes, just that they combine the idea of sealed and ported enclosures in one box. You can try checking this site out for more info http://www.lightav.com/car/boxes/boxes.html The bad thing about Kicker subs is that they're power hungry subs, but when supplied, they hit good. I f space is a prob, bet one bad-ass 15 inch sub and power the hell outta it, it'll definitelt slam

[Mustang_95_Coupe]

any auctions on ebay i could check out with what your talking about the kicker solar barics? Perfreed in a box already.

[KMoney28]

I'll take a look, i bought 2 for about $350(retail one is about $500) They work great, but of course the only set back is if something goes wrong Kicker probably won't honor the warranty because Ebay sellers aren't authorized dealers. But if you buy from an authorized deal you'll be paying an arm and a leg. I'll take a look though...

Check this site out http://search.ebay.com/s12l7_W0QQsok...ectZ1QQfromZR8 They come in a box already but I would buy them separately(it'll come out to the same price) because some have the Kicker logo on them and are built more according to the specs. I have the 2003 model. I like that design with the gray better than this years model with the bright silver but the choice is yours, they have the exact same peak power and rms and all that just a different design. Most likely if you buy the Kicker box or the subs already in a box, they will be in a sealed box(idk if that's what you want) Another thing to consider is if you want them in dual 4ohm voice coils or dual 2ohm voice coils. I have the dual 4's. Once again they have the same specs the only difference is the way you choose to wire them, and what amp or ohm load you'll be running them at. Hope this was helpfull, hit me up if you have anymore questions....
