well the l7/box combo will have better build quality than that alpine setup. its kind of annoying since i don't know exactly how much it is with a discount so comparing price for price is hard.

rockford fosgate p3 would be fine
kicker l7 would be fine
alpine type r would be fine
pioneer champion pro series would be fine

if the price on the db brand subs is comparable they are also an okay choice. full price on them is terrible bur if you can get a good price($150 or so) on one it would be fine.

and ya thats the one i was referencing.


I'll let you know but they basically get stuff at like 5% above cost

Which is normally around 50% or more
Just depends
I will price all the stuff later and let you help me pick what is the best deal
I would really like the L7 since its a single sub but I want the best low Hz quality.

Also

the best amp they have is this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Kicker+-+DX+Series+1000W+Class+D+Mono+MOSFET+Amplifier+with+Low-Pass+Crossover/1685131.p?id=1218279826931&skuId=1685131&st=1685131&cp=1&lp=1 for $187

They have a few others less expensive than that tho there


I was thinking 2x alpines in the same box as the old with that amp or should I just do 1 sub 1 box smaller amp?

for $215 that l7 is garbage. you could get a sundown sa-12 for $195 with free shipping that is much better.

on the amps most mainstream brands are similar quality. 500(maybe 600)rms@2 ohms will be what you are looking for. best buys site sorting and product information sucks so you can get model numbers and them compare them on http://www.sonicelectronix.com/ 500-600rms @2ohms, good signal to noise ratio, cea-2006 compliant are going to be the main specs to look for.

how much was your current amp after discount?

that amp is too much power for your electrical system you would have a drained battery in under an hour even with the car running so you would end up stranded if you turned the car off.

amperage=rms watts/14.4. 14.4 is the standard voltage of your electrical system and the voltage your amplifier performs correctly at.

don't buy sony anything. the quality is simply below average for their stuff.

that polk amp is fine.

tbh you might just consider http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_25536_MB-Quart-REF1.800-REF-1.800.html

4 way system protection, higher signal quality, around the same price, good quality, cea-2006 compliant, subsonic filter.

Ok, so that amp is better than the polk?
I would like to get it all at the same time from there so if so I would like that and the two alpine subs with that black shiny ported metra box

yes i'd definitely go with the mb quart of that polk.

no real reason to get two of them. you can only run the amp @2ohm power so 1 sub@500rms will be about the same as 2 subs@250rms each. with this power range just get a single sub.

http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/sundown-audio-sa-12-600w-sa-series.html is a good choice if its in the price range.

http://www.soundqubed.com/ the sdc2.5 series subs are fine as well. the 15 or 12 would be the way to go on these.

I mean the reason I am selling what I have now is to get something a little better for a little cheaper.
Like I said, the system in it now is perfectly fine. But I would like a little lower end and honestly I just want a little better overall quality.

Or maybe just something smaller

that mb quart+1 of those dual 4 ohm alpine subs would be fine. the main difference is going to be that the alpine sub hits lower.
