Well, just got handed a brand new Sony Amp xmD500x amp, and I was just looking for some decent subs to go with it. Yeah, its definitely a lower class amp, but it was a gift and I'm not gonna complain. I'm driving an 03 coupe, and I'm not looking for anything that will vibrate the windows of houses down the block, I'm just looking for a nice clean bass sound. The three options I was considering were
- two 10" Fosgate Punchs (stage 1)
-one 12" Fosgate Punch (stage 2)
-two 10" Alpine Type-Es

Thanks for any help.

 

since uve got such a crappy amp id say get a bandpass box with 2 fosgate 12's.....itll be enough

 

Appreciate it. Anyone else?

 

Eh, its an amp you wouldnt have had otherwise. I dunno about the bandpass, but Pcu is right, go with some lower end fosgates. If you go to high end your not going to get much out of the subs simply because the amp sucks harder than Monica Lewinsky

 

Ow, breaking out the Lewinsky jokes...just playing, its all good. Thanks for the confirmation. I just wanted more bass than my {anasonic speakers were giving me

 

You know, Ive never had a problem with panny speakers before, they are always clear an accurate... they lack in bass but sound good from what Ive heard (meaning acutally sat down and listened to em).

 

Definitely a good speaker...and the bass isn't that bad. I just dislike the rattle I get from them when the bass kicks in and the hpf is low.

 

The reson why most of aftermarkets rattle is because they were not specifiaclly designed for that particular door. Also if the door was 100% pressurized and dampened in the shell, youd be amazed how good it will sound. For example, the speakers featured in the Range Rover (Harmon Kardon Logic 7), youd have to go extremly high end just to get SOME better sound, since the hk's were acoustically fitted with the rover. If I had one, I wouldnt touch the speakers, although I would slap in bigger subs.

 

Yeah, its mainly the rear ones that rattle...but I understand what you're saying.

 

well remmy i was tellin him to get a bandpass box because it seems as if he just wants something thats goin to slam with that low power amp..............a bandpass box will hit hard as hell.......wont be the u wont get Infinity Perfect clearity......but i bet itll give u waht ur lookin for.
