The RE 12 sounds really nice for a entry level subwoofer. I just thought i whould add this. Its very light weight which is great and performs very well for 1 12 and really compliments the frontstage well if you go sealed or ported. I whould go with 2 of them sealed or 1 ported and you will have a nice balance.

two Mmats 10s ,ported @34hz, directed audio 1100d5(600rms@1ohm) and it will power my comps plus I can add rear fill!!! might still consider one 15''

What about two Mmats pro audio 10s? with a us Amps from ikesound.com they are 700rms@4ohm and those subs are 350rms... or maybe just get a single 15'' with a small amp

Hey,

Look in the for sale section.

Justin from Detroit has some Elevation 6.5 Comps for $110 shipped...

Hes also got a single 12" Pro for an ultra-ungodly low price of $150 shipped...

I think them comps run about $300 in a store and the subs $359 or $349...

thanks for the info guys, you are completely right but sometimes i just want it nasty loud.... but when im driving around town i like it to sound good... its either between the focal and the MB quarts.... and the only brands sold around my area, JL , JL, ummm JL, and then some alphasonik and JL....lol

sound is subjective to the individual, so instead of asking us what to buy, and later complaining that it isn't what you wanted, why not go listen to these speakers, and pick the ones your own ears like the best?

That's the way to buy speakers, and emember the front stage is most vital to overall sound in the car. This is where 70% of your audio comes from, so you need good power to the fronts, with good speakers. Any sub can make bass. The human ear isn't as sensitive to low frequencies, which is why we can use class D amps with plenty of distortion, and lousy subs, and still get adequate bass for a car, but we can easily pick out differences in any two sets of comonents in the front stage.

Truth there.

Depends on how much bass you want...

A single 12 RE series is enough to provide fill and some extra boom.

Anything much more than that is just boom...
