last time i checked you can get 2x10 square kickers for about 700 but that not your problem

the problem is the amplifier you need to run two twelves

ok, then which amp is good for 2x12's then? I havnt bought any of my new system yet, so still looking around for amps and subs.

I know of Rockford item that will hammer them for that price (200.2 or a 300.1)

if you are looking for subs and amp in that budget then its not going to net much.

couple of questions:

how loud do you want it (or have it)

what do you listen to?

realistic budget?

ok I think people are getting me wrong, the $800 is only for the subs, the amp budget is seperate. I can go to about 800 on the amp as well, so pretty much I got 1600 for subs and an amp.

and my question is, which subs and amps are best in this price range!

thanks

I like the sound of Hertz Subs..

I say get one 12 inch or even one 10inch Mille series

Its top of the range and you wont be dissapointed.

Now this depends on what type of music you listen too also..

BUT the most important factor is the amp..

No point buying a really good sub if you have a shit amp!!

Edit: just read the post above.. Soo you have 800 on an amp uh.. Why not the audison series? mono block perhaps? 2nd hand will be fine!!

Why does the music I listen matter?? Bass from a sub is bass whatever you listen to.

anyway, thanks for the hertz subs suggestion, they look really good, looking at the 12" ones.

and the audison look good, but which one? there are so many? ( well nearly 20 anyway)

If you listen to hi-5 a lot, then a smaller sub will do... They only have the occasional bass kick...

If you listen to Drum & Bass a lot, then the larger sub will work a lot better, be able to push out those long, low and strong wavelengths...

yeah i suppose... but you gotta assume that anyone spending 800 bucks on a sub wouldnt be buying it to listnen to hi-5...

get nakamichi. 1 sub and 1 amp will be around $1300 both..

Nakamichi look like they make high quality subs, but they only sell one sub?? This kinda makes me feel like car audio isnt there focus, so would rather go with hertz over nakamichi. Unless some other people recomend nakamichi and they really are as good or better than a hertz equivalent priced sub. Does anyone know?

[siddr20]

Well different subs have different effects..

Some are punch, some go really deep in terms of bass..

You dont want a sub going really low if you listen to rock and roll.. As you would want a punchy type sub

Whats your budget for amp? still 800?

want mono block? or 3 channel? or 4 channel?

I want a deep and loud sub. As for mono, 3 or 4 channel i havnt got a clue... Whats the diff between them? which ones better than the other?

[siddr20]

Well mono block is a dedicated amp for a sub.

2-4 channel can be bridged to power the sub as well as speakers.. You wont get the full amount of power from the amp powering yuour sub tho.. As some portion of rms/watts etc will power the speakers as well as the amp..

Hope that makes sense lol??

I had a look at what they recomend for this budget and there not the best parts, but it's good enough for me. Now i have to pick which parts I'll use!

what do you guys recommend.

[LiQuid IcE]

I always match my amp to the sub the manufacturer recommends. Meaning whatever sub you decide to use there is usually an amp designed for the specs of the sub.

As for what type to go, I don't know about much of the high end stuff. I went kicker.

[Drift Much?]

Digital Designs... or MTX

Digital Designs... or MTX

Ive narrowed down my options after looking at all the different manufacturers options,

Ok the front speakers and sub are going to be either Hertz or Digital Designs. And the amp is going to be either Audison or Digital Designs. What do you guys reckon.

Also where is the best place or site to buy the audio gear from? specifically DD, Hertz and Audison gear?

thanks
