    Need help!!!

    I don't have a amp yet I was going to get the sub first and match the amp to it. I like nice clean deep bass more spl. do you have any other suggetions on what type of sub would be great for that box and what amp to use? I'm on a$400 budget for amp + sub.

    Plus money for a good box...which would be atleast 100-175 dollars unless you have the tools and can build one yourself

    I'd say an Alpine Type R from here for 125 dollars + shipping
    Realm of Excursion

    Then an amp....say this, I've heard good things about it...awesome bang for the buck
    Crunch GP1500D - Ground Pounder Series 1-Channel Class D Car Amplifier • 375W x 1 chan. @ 4 ohms • 750W x 1 chan. @ 2 ohms • 1500W x 1 chan. @ 1 ohm Max • PWM MOSFET Power Supply • Silver-plated power connectors • Silver-plated RCA inputs and outputs

    Then all you need is a custom ported box...no prefab enclosures here from best buy or circuit city if you want CLEAN DEEP LOUD bass

    oh yeah...sorry

    I've had a couple Type Rs in about 2 cu ft per sub ported...box that I built...tuned around 32 hz and it wanged hard and LOWW

    that box should should do that Type R well

    i hate to look like one of those people who keep plugging a product, but i love my pierce audio products WMD. that would be a nice box for it. but if you want to get something more mainstream i'd go with the 8500.
    for power? a really good deal on a kicker amp, not very clean but lots of power

    Pierce Audio Products are pretty hated over on ROE. I forget why.

    If you want Sound Quality than the WMDs are for you...they aren't really geared towards SPL
