    So are you looking for more Spl or Sq?

    everyone always has a spending limit! ;) are you looking for just subs and amp, or a head unit, component systems, seperate amplifiers for your component systems? any preferences to 10s, 12s, or 15s?

    I own kickers, and they get super loud, but don't perform well with rock and alternative, im not impressed at all with their sq, although im aware that kicker has won awards for sq, but ive never gotten it or heard it.
    Memphis, Polk, Jl Audio, Boston Acoustics, Image Dynamics, and i had good results out of infinity. those are all well reputable brands and produce good clean bass that will get loud and sound good doing it. Just because you put 1000 watts into subs doesn't mean they will get louder. Different subs handle different levels of power. For example, the higher end kicker subs are very power hungry, but infinity doesn't require as much power to perform well.

    As far as amps, look into Cadence, Clarion, Planet Audio, Sundown Audio, and even try Autotek (which i own one of).

    hmm...JBL comes to mind as do RE subs. ive heard both in SQ systems. as far as power . the jbl setup had jbl amps and the re's has us amps for power. each sub on around 1k each.

    Image dynamics are good too. JL, infinity,elemental designs and the list goes on and on.

    its hard to pick just one good sub amp combo.

    look for a sub that will work in the space you have available, and an amp/s that will fit in the space you have.

    RE subs... I'd love to get some RE BTL's if i had the money... Sundown amps and RE subs would be great if you could afford it..
