Yeah I'm saving up for some infinity subs and a Fosgate amp at the moment. Those Fosgate amps sound awesome from what I've heard out of them as well as they're decently priced!

 

iv allways liked alpine, i had type R 12s and those sound really good.

 

That 12w7 is a serious sub. You are going to need a serious amp to power it right. Phoenix Gold is a great amp. Zapco is the bomb. I have all Cadence stuff. You may have never heard of Cadence but I will take the Pepsi challenge with Kicker/Fosgate/Zapco, etc... anyday, and it's less expensive. It's also made in the USA. I also really like Soundstream. It's also made in the USA. I went all Soundstream in my woman's car and her '01 Lx sounds awesome.

 

yea a 1000 watt amp should be good unless u just wanna shatter your windows cause the jl12w7 is a powerful sub.

 

You can put a JL Audio 1000/1 and rock the block with 1 w7.

I would settle for a 10 inch w6 if you thought that your intrepid had too much bass. Also, Look at the Alpine Type R's. They are very 'musical' and still hit. You can put 1 10" in you hatch and put a JL Audio 500/1 amp on it and be happy for years.

 

hell, get a bully subwoofer dude. ...or 2. Ive heard them recently and those 15" subs have the smoothness of a 10 and of course... the loudness of a 15"

well, thanks for all the help, the jl 12w7 was ridiculously expensive! so i went with the 12w3...it sounds great
got a nice kenwood amp too! my cars gonna be shaken to peices tho

 

Care to explain in acoustical terms why that statement is true in any way shape or form? I'll give you a hint to start with: the statement is false.

 

Oh....I'm getting some popcorn, I love this age-old arguement.

 

lol...bobby is right, the answer is false. Now If you want to get really technical about it, a 30" subwoofer might move a little slower but you will never be able to compensate that it was a little late.
