ok so with my current setup i cant manage to get enough box volume and still fit in the vehicle so i am scrapping the idea of running dual subs and just going to go with a single 12" currently i am running whats listed in my signature (mind you the sub box has an air leak)... tonight i spent a bit of time tuning the system and finally after 5k miles of moderate use of the door speakers i decided to take it on a decibal run i maxed out at 98.4 db with a clean scope and no clipping) thats with roughly 400wrms to the sub and i believe the sony amp is pushing about 35wrms @ 4 ohm with sony's rating 0.04%thd aside from the big box store brands kicker, fosgate, pioneer, memphis, sony (though i don't call them quality),and subs i cant afford to put in my truck (alpine type r), jl w13, (the trucks worth ($1000) what is available in a 550rms or up shallow mount? (those listed above are sub 500watts or +$250) i have found a few subs that stay with in my if it gets stolen oh well bracket but i have never really heard of these companies so i haven't a clue kole audio? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7360_Kole-Audio-MFW-12.html boss audio (i have heard of this company but haven't tried try?) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12273_Boss-D12F.html the mb quarts doesnt look to bad either i am looking for subwoofer sub $150 price range... and yes i am looking to hit 110 db at 30 hz... if possible???(subwoofer amp will be upgraded as needed)
