I will be putting this in my 300zx with a Pioneer head unit. Any advice greatly appreciated.

yes the first one comes with the sub, and no it's not a good deal
the second amp is not good, and for what you get that's a very bad price
the third amp is also not good, but the price is better than the other amp

I recommend you stop looking at Audiobahn, there are other companies out there, and just about all of them are MUCH better (better build quality, better sound quality, and cheaper). If you let us know what exactly you're looking for in your sub setup then we could help you more

Well basically this is what I am looking for. I currently have a Pioneer headunit, with a bose speaker setup (I believe), there is an existing amp under the passenger seat, I removed the seat and found that I was an older Alpine v12 4-2-1, I forget the model number. I asked a installer at circuit city if I would be able to run a 10" sub of the amp and he said I could but it might cause it to overheat, proably better to go with another amp to run the sub. So what I am trying to say is I want an amp and a 10" sub and enclosure that is good quality, without spending a fortune. I listen mostly to punk/hardcore so sound quality is more important to me than just the loud annoying thumping. Thanks

any particular reason you want a 10?

I would go with a sealed 12 on a reasonable amp personally, for a sub maybe a shiva, IDQ, kv2, and for an amp you could go with soundstream, hifonics, dei, eD, or maybe an older jbl or pg tantrum.

[salem1oliver]

the only reason that I planned on going with a 10" is because I thought that it would be more than enough for a 300zx.

[sr20de4evr]

It might, depending on your tastes. I know a sealed 10 would never be able to keep up with the rest of my system or my listening habits, but everyone is different.

If you're not overly concerned with space then I would go with a 12, even if you don't use all of the potential displacement, for a given output the 12 will be moving less and therefore have less distortion than a 10 (think of it as excursion headroom), plus if you ever want to turn it up then you can, and it's not like there's much of a price difference at all.

You could still go with a 10 though, it's up to you of course.
